XML Matters: Lighter than microformats: Picoformats
In a past installment of XML Matters, David Mertz explored reStructured Text, a lightweight markup language for formatting mostly text documents, and prior to that he looked at YAML, a lightweight markup language for mostly data documents. With the rise of AJAX and microformats, are these still useful, or are microformats "light" enough? See how to leverage JSON (lighter than YAML) using MochiKit for AJAX without the X, and apply reStructured Text to the task of generating microformats.
