I prefer both JSON and YAML over XML.

XML has both elements and tags, but it didn't really need both. This
results in more complexity than necessary.  Also, XSLT and XPath are not
really all that simple.

But there's hope.  If you're stuck with XML, you can use xmltodict, which
makes XML almost as easy as JSON.

HTH.
