> but also related ecosystems like OpenApi are using Json and even Yaml in preference. And that explodes my mind. Yaml is such a steaming pile of shit compared to Json, let alone XML. Yaml is the perfect example for the dichotomy of easiness versus simplicity. At first glance, it looks so easy. No tags, no braces, no commas, you can use comments. It seams to be so much better than XML and Json. After a while you begin to realize that the easiness is only perceived at first glance. In truth it is agglomeration of corner cases that got hyped like crazy.
