Strong competition from yaml and json on this point however

Alright, the YAML spec is a dang mess, that I'll grant you, but it seems pretty easy for my human eyes to read and write. As for JSON -- seriously? That's probably the easiest to parse human-readable structured data format there is!

it is anything but easy to read if your entire file does not fit on a single screen.

What data format is easy to read if it fills more than the entire screen?
