I lol'd. This thread provided much amusement after a long week. =] Sorry for not being more constructive myself but can someone drill the devs for specific reasons (architectural etc) xml is the best solution and wikify the results? If I get a chance I plan on doing exactly that if I have some

I like the idea. Translate YAML to XML. Personally I look at YAML and it just doesn't make sense to me. Looks like you can make plenty of mistakes. On Jun 27, 2008, at 10:08 AM, Klaus Teller wrote: > I would think that it would be sufficient to provide parsers (or > transformers) that al

The debate of YAML vs XML and XML vs JSON is not new... Can YAML really replace XML? To be frank, whatever can be done in XML can be done without XML. Do you need XML for XML-RPC? Yes, Is it necessary to use XML for RPC? No. Is it necessary to use XML for RDF? No. Is it necessary to use XML for,

Thank you for the suggestion. I am open to many suggestions about FreeSWITCH but the minimal way we use XML cannot be undone. I am not sure you actually tried FreeSWITCH very much if you think the XML is difficult to work with. Almost every config file that uses xml is still just name value pairs

Diego, I can already tell you Its not going to happen. The choice was made early on and it was the correct one. It's not something that can be changed or modular. If XML is the single reason you won't be using FreeSWITCH then by all means stick with Asterisk, because we aren't go

I am afraid that the xml is not a modular part of the system, it is quite integral to the freeswitch configuration engine. Perhaps you could look at programatically generating the xml or freeswitch may not be the best project for you. Mike On Jun 26, 2008, at 10:14 PM, Diego Viola wrote:

Hi everyone - I really love this project... I love the design you guys took with FS, I love the stability, the features, the openness of it, it's the VoIP platform I always dreamed of it... FreeSWITCH is what Asterisk should have been. But I just don't like one thing: XML. I also don't intend to
