       @alexbuzzbee Personally I don't really care, and would like people to just stop arguing so much! There's much better things to waste your breath on.That said I have a *slight* preference for Turtle.

       @alexbuzzbee I'd say sexps, but almost all languages have JSON parsers in their standard libraries, so that's a better choice. It's not much different from sexps, actually.XML is harder to parse and even Python's stdlib lacks a fully-fledged xml parser that won't barf on real world data. It also maps less readily on general purpose data types common to most languages.

       @alexbuzzbee I like looking at JSON but I think I actually prefer scripting against XML.

       @alexbuzzbee I use JSON for computer readable data and TOML for user writable data.

       @alexbuzzbee It depends on the task at hand 🤷

       @alexbuzzbee It depends on the real, but if I have to edit it by hand I prefer YAML. I don't like XML because despite (or because) of a nice XSD people usually have trouble consuming a web service if they don't use the same framework.
