There are a couple of things I’d like to point out about this example. First off, in many ways it looks very similar to the YAML version, however OGDL is a bit simplier and cleaner. It’s also easier to learn. I had to look through the YAML spec to make sure I had all the syntax correct. For the OGDL version, well, there isn’t much syntax you need to know. In either case, though, both are easier to read than the XML.

Rolf also pointed out that “Speaking about parsers, alpha level Perl and C versions are available, although they are already usable. Java will follow.” Certainly something to keep and eye on!
