What are good alternative data formats to XML? [closed]

Answer 1

For the sake of mentioning... have a look at my proposal:

http://igagis.github.io/stob/

It is very simple and is not overloadad with variety of special symbols, just {} and "" basically.

Supports C++ style comments.

There are C++, C# and Java libraries.

Example:

"String object"
AnotherStringObject
"String with children"{
    "child 1"
    Child2
    "child three"{
        SubChild1
        "Subchild two"

        Property1 {Value1}
        "Property two" {"Value 2"}
        //comment

        /* multi-line
           comment */

        "multi-line
         string"

        "Escape sequences \" \n \r \t \\"
    }
}
