I woulda tried them on JSON. As long as they use an editor that keeps track of nested brackets I think it's much more natural than XML.

I switched to TOML for my stuff.

Wow, I never even heard of TOML. Very interesting - thanks!

edit: after looking at it a bit I think I'll actually try using it. But I find it ironic that the website for something billed as "for humans" and "easy to read" is done in light gray text on a white background. The CSS class they chose is even called "light gray" LOL.
