JSON to transfer data, YAML to write configuration files.
Prove me wrong.

Worthless opinion anyway
Brandon Ross
Json.
I have never used yml
Tyler Powell
Json all the way, fuck everything else and especially xml

YAML is an utter shitshow. Its syntax only looks simple at first, but it's a mess of special cases and traps. It's whitespace-dependent and hard to parse safely. All in all, JSON is better as a config language just by the virtue of not being YAML.

That's a good thing.

"No"
Blake Price
if you're using js, just use js to write your config files. that way you can have comments and shit

What's with the quotes? That's also a problem with JSON. You already have the colon to separate the name from the value. Why do you need those extra quotes?
