MAML: Minimal. Human-readable. Machine-parsable.

#Data

JSON is the most popular data-interchange format. But it isn't a very good configuration language.

MAML keeps JSON’s simplicity and adds only the needed bits for a good configuration language:

  1. Comments
  2. Multiline strings
  3. Optional commas
  4. Optional key quotes

MAML is human-readable and easy to parse.
