Ever tried NestedText? It's like basic YAML but everything is a string (types are up to the code that ingests it), and you never ever need to escape a character.

I've got too many consumers that I don't control which dictate their input formats. And to be quite honest, "types are up to the code that ingests it" sounds like a huge negative to me.

Ah, well I love that policy (types being in code, not configs). FWIW I sometimes use it as a hand-edited document, with a small type-specifying file, to generate json/yaml/toml for other programs to load.
