XML Alternatives
XML is described as 'Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format which is both human-readable and machine-readable' and is an app in the development category. There are four alternatives to XML for Linux, Mac, Windows, JavaScript and Self-Hosted solutions. The best alternative is TOML, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like XML are JSON, YAML and Eno.
- TOML aims to be a minimal configuration file format that's easy to read due to obvious semantics. TOML is designed to map unambiguously to a hash table. TOML should be easy to parse into data structures in a wide variety of languages.No screenshots yet
