There are people who find XML hard to read?

[–] actually@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Over time I have matured as a programmer and realize xml is very good to use sometimes, even superior. But I still want layers between me and it. I do output as yaml when I have to see what’s in there

Depends on how complex it is. Ever see the XML behind SharePoint? 🤮

But is that the fault of XML, or is the data itself just complex, or did they structure the data badly?

Would another human readable format make the data easier to read?

I see you've never worked with SOAP services that have half a dozen or more namespaces.
