TOML
A sane configuration format from @mojombo. More information here: https://github.com/mojombo/toml
This is far superior to YAML and JSON because it doesn't suck. Really it doesn't.
Usage
It's simple, really.
content = <<-TOML
# Hello, this is an example.
[things]
other = "things"
what = 900000
TOML
parser = TOML::Parser.new(content).parsed
# => { "things" => { "other" => "things", "what" => 900000 } }
You can also use the same API as YAML
if you'd like:
TOML.load("thing = 9")
# => {"thing" => 9}
TOML.load_file("my_file.toml")
# => {"whatever" => "keys"}
