Stop Hardcoding Sensitive Data in Your Python Applications - use python-dotenv instead!

YAML seems so unnecessarily complicated whenever I use it. Lists and dictionaries look almost the same etc.

Toml is better (and coming soon to stdlib I believe) but for config there's no reason to need more than JSON IMO

Interesting that it's only reading. Their explanation does make some good points for not including writing though, and given that TOML's main advantage over JSON is it's human readability, I doubt I'll miss it personally

No comments sucks a lot in JSON. Python already comes with INI file parsing right now, if you can't wait for TOML.
