Keeps formatting as-is. """ } JSON is the most popular data-interchange format. But it isn't a very good configuration language. MAML keeps JSON’s simplicity and adds only the needed bits for a good configuration language: Multiline strings Optional commas Optional key quotes MAML is human-readable and easy to parse. MAML is a brand-new language, so feel free to create new implementations following the specification.
