Serialization languages

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

I'm curious about your opinion about it.

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.

Actually I don't like serialization, but looks like JSON is the most popular and supported.

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.
