The syntax is the same, except for, as I said, JSON's multiline comments.
The semantics do differ, but that has nothing to do with the user's
question, about an alternative to XML for data representation.  You
can use "true" or True or "null" or None or whatever semantic values
you want.

You can use the JSON library if you want.  But there really is no
need in this case.  Just import the file containing the dicts and lists.

Which are syntactically identical to JSON's.

No shit.
