been hearing a lot lately about how JASON-LD is kind of terrible.

been hearing a lot lately about how JASON-LD is kind of terrible. shame we didn't already have some kind of eXtensible Markup Language first

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@aeva A shame XML also sucks

(I work in the Java ecosystem so I brush up against XML constantly.)

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@ratsnakegames i like xml ;_;

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@aeva i respect your lifestyle choices but I'd rather write and read JSON or YAML.

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@ratsnakegames it's like making a little web page but it's for your data instead of for your neopet

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@aeva tbf, what i hate the most are schema declarations, XSLT stuff, and all the overengineered cruft like SOAP built on top of it. Basic syntax is fine, although sometimes a bit verbose if you're dealing with namespaces.

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@ratsnakegames oh yeah i don't use any of that lol

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@aeva @ratsnakegames I actually like XSLT, but I wish browsers hadn't stopped at 1.0 which is objectively horrible

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@oblomov @aeva there is just SO. MUCH. STUFF.

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@ratsnakegames

I'm … not sure I understand this comment?

@aeva

[ratsnakegames@mastodon.social]

@oblomov @aeva Like, there's too many XML-adjacent technologies that come round the corner and surprise you when you REALLY can't be arsed to learn about them, but you have to do it RIGHT NOW to do the thing you're trying to do

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@ratsnakegames @aeva oh, in that sense, yes.

[pupxel@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva maybe we should go back to "everything's a file" and use the folder structure as the language

[cagibidev@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva I like csv and ini files. Don't do extensibility, kids
