Well, the later statement isn't really true. YAML is certainly more complex than JSON. And that's b/c it 1) caters to human readability and editability and 2) is a full serialization format. But it's not more complex than XML by any means. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
