When to Use Each Format
JSON
â API responses, web applications, configuration files
â Human editing (verbose), comments not supported
YAML
â Kubernetes, Docker Compose, CI/CD, human-readable configs
â Whitespace-sensitive, can be ambiguous
XML
â Legacy systems, document markup, strong validation
â Verbose, complex syntax
TOML
