I don't know which is the best, but yaml is the worst.

Uh no, the worst is a tie between XML and JSON.

XML because the syntax is hard to read and even harder to write, and JSON because you can't do comments. WTF.

I instant exit on XML conf files. I have no idea how to parse the info, maybe I should. But there are too many tags and my eyes instantly glaze over when I see it!
