Look at the top-priority goal of the YAML standard: "YAML is easily readable by humans." Readability trumps _everything_. Bits are cheap. Unless you have a truly compelling reason to worry about the size of your data (e.g., you're working with an embedded CPU that has only a few kB of RAM), forget about this kind of compression. It will only come back to bite you in the butt later. And if you really do have a reason to worry about the size of your data, you probably shouldn't be using YAML. -Steve Schafer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
