I ran into some empty string issues, some binary string issues, and I've heard from Guido that he's had some issues with empty lists. These are all trivial cases in json. I also don't know how yaml handles unicode data, but I do know that a good json library will have no issues with unicode. - Josiah On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 3:54 AM, Jan Kanis <jan.kanis@phil.uu.nl> wrote:

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?
