# At least you can have comments unlike in json. Who need comments in a config file anyway.

Toml is superior to all.

Nothing too major about how it's usually used, but the yaml spec does allow arbitrary code execution when parsing a file and relies on the parser to have that feature disabled: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML#Security

That's why for python, yaml.save_load() is a thing. That's fine for your local config files and may even be a feature for you, but it shouldn't be used to exchange information between services.

My general view is similar, yaml is better if it should be written by humans, json is better if it should be written and read only by a machine. but hyprspace uses json for configuration, so I don't really understand cellardoor's comment

[-] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah I agree. Although recently I've become partial to toml... In the end I'll use what's common in the ecosystem I'm developing in

Xml has entered the chat

[-] netvor@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

nit: you mean yaml.safe_load().

[-] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah, of course.

[-] Zangoose@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Hey did you know that any JSON file is also a valid YAML file? I bet you'll love YAML a lot more now that you have this information

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

Careful. The yaml cult will come after you in a long and formless column, and only self destruct when one of them is a step too far to the left.
