One point that made me choose YAML instead is that YAML support is built-in in STD ruby, where JSON is not (AFAIK). As well from my experience YAML is better covered than JSON on other platforms (such as .Net)... That's why I choosed YAML for the moment. > YAML can do things like handling multiple references to the same object, > but it sounds like you don't need that level of sophistication. I don't need this for the moment, but it may come :) cheers and thanks for the feedback, appreciated -- Thibaut
