    So, you want to represent data, heh?
    Here are three choices I've gotten to work:
    JSON
    XML
    CSV
    Have you ever seen nested CSV files? They're truely bizzare to see, but if you have a sufficiently powerful parser, they can be read. New Line characters are to be record separators only when they are fully outside of quotes. Commas are to be used as field separators, only when they are fully outside of quotes. Quotes are to be used as content descriminators only when not doubled up.
    The closest thing to a CSV spec that I've ever found.
    My silver bullets of choice? Data encoding for transfer.
    My next favorite silver bullet set, Web Services.
    My other favorite silver bullet set, Programming Languages.

    From Yakov Shafranovich's blog:

    Microsoft Windows 2000: $200
    Microsoft Access 2000: $200

    Hiring an embezzler to put in three set of election results into your voting software controllable by a hidden combination of keys known only to you: $60,000 Changing the election results in favor of your candidate: priceless
