Fletch-

Thanks for the pointer! I'm new to the YAML is JSON debate so I don't know too much about it right now, but I get the feeling that a more correct title is YAML is like JSON. After reading your RUBY article, and then looking at JSON::XS I'm not sure where I sit in this controversy. Marc Lehmann states in the JSON::XS docs:

You often hear that JSON is a subset (or a close subset) of YAML. This is, however, a mass hysteria and very far from the truth. In general, there is no way to configure JSON::XS to output a data structure as valid YAML.

I'm leaning towards using this module for my particluar solution unless someone can help me understand why this wouldn't be optimum.

Thanks
