JSON is great for simple data, especially just arrays of numbers.
YAML is great for rich complex data, but it requires a smarter parser. I love the human readability though.
Both are much more fun to use than XML.

Whatever my code libraries use is what I use. Nowadays, that seems to be JSON more often than not.
But YAML is great. Even CSV can be made usable.

I recently found out about YAML and I think it's much cooler than JSON.
I'm curious about your opinion about it.
