in thread Human-readable serialization formats other than YAML?

I like JSON myself and use it extensively for data transfer purposes (it's about as compact as plaintext serialization format could ever be), but it's not particularly human-readable, even when pretty-printed. This is especially the case with multi-line strings mentioned in this example.

Still, it might be enough for debugging purposes. But so is any other text serialization format. Even (G-d forbid!) XML. With CDATA sections.
