:::::By YAML being a standard, I was referring to how exceedingly common it is. I.e. a de facto standard. [[Special:Contributions/185.213.154.172|185.213.154.172]] ([[User talk:185.213.154.172|talk]]) 21:34, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
:::::I agree with MrOllie above. I would like to add that when an article for Hjson exists, and the [[configuration file]] format is shown to be noteworthy, it seems like it would best fit in the "See also" section of the JSON article, under "Related formats".

== Additional and upcoming formats possibly not worthy of mentioning in the main article, but shall be gathered anyway ==
Okay, there are ''a lot'' of formats out there. I open this section to collect and reference them, and if they reach the notability threshold they can be included in the main article. I'm sure there's plenty.
Also there is some discrepancy/overlapping between ''data-serialization formats'', ''[[data exchange]] formats'' and ''[[configuration file]] formats'', I do not make distinction here since - in my opinion - they are mostly the same set with very similar purposes and only slightly specificattributes. --[[user:grin|grin]] [[user talk:grin|✎]] 09:39, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
