In other words, XML is the only one you are more or less familiar with.
I get that. I had the same reticence when a FOSS project I was working on moved its over-the-wire serialisation to something called JSON back in the day when everyone, myself included, were drooling over XML which, to be fair, was itself a significant improvement over the previous state of affairs. Anyway, I wasn't happy about it, especially since the JSON parser itself had to be written from scratch (in C, without malloc). I was so glad that we didn't take the easy route of going with what we liked when I saw the results. Today the protocol is orders of magnitude more expressive but it's still using the same parser and serialiser and remains, as far as I am aware, fully backwards compatible.
Horses for courses, even if it means getting out of your comfort zone.
