Has anyone in this discussion used either Yaml or Json? I've used both. And I much prefer Json. The libraries to encode and decode in most languages worth mentioning are *very* fast (comparable to cPickle). Yaml...not so much. Never mind that Yaml has some ugly bits that make it's use as a configuration language (which isn't uncommon) have some very unpleasant gotchas.
Josiah, A bit OT, but I'm wondering, what kind of unpleasant gotchas are we talking about? I've used YAML a very little bit, but it looked very interesting to me. Could you give a pointer to what unpleasantness to expect? Jan
