How does one address the paradox that, as JSON itself is evil, one cannot use it for evil?

(opinions may vary on the above; but it's mine, so nyah nyah.)

It's less evil than XML or YAML

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 34 points 21 hours ago

XML is ok for complex docs where you have a detailed structure and relationships. JSON is good for simple objects. YAML is good for being something to switch to for the illusion of progress.

Meh. I just wish XML was easier to parse. I have to shuttle a lot of XML data back and forth. As far as I can tell, the only way to query the data is to download a whole engine to run a special query language, and that doesn't really integrate into any of my workflows. JSON retains the hierarchy and is trivially parsed in almost any programming language. I bet a JSON file containing the exact same data would be much smaller also, since you don't list each tag twice.

There are parsing libraries, maybe not as many or as open, but they exist.

It's still using the lesser of 3 evils, we need a fourth human readable data interchange format.

Obligatory xkcd

Standards

>TOML has entered the channel

Any human-readable format compatible with JSON is inevitably going to be used as an interchange format...

Hmm, hard to argue with that :P
