Linus Torvalds: “I'm happily hacking on a new save format using ‘libgit2’”
What's with all the XML hate? Of course, doing everything in XML is a stupid idea (e.g. XSLT and Ant) and thanks heaven that hype is over.But if I want something that is able to express data structures customized by myself, usually with hierarchical data that can be verified for validity and syntax (XML Schemas or old-school DTD), what other options are there?Doing hierarchical data in SQL is a bitch and if you want to transfer it, well good luck with a SQL dump. JSON and other lightweight markup languages fail the verification requirement.
