Use CSV when working with spreadsheets (Excel, Google Sheets), doing data analysis, or exporting data for external use.
Use YAML for configuration files, especially in DevOps (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions). It's more readable than JSON but can have ambiguity with indentation.
Use XML when working with legacy systems, SOAP APIs, or when you need rich metadata and validation schemas.
Use Protobuf for high-performance internal APIs, microservices communication, or when you need maximum efficiency and have defined schemas.

Use TOON when building LLM-powered applications, optimizing API costs, or when you need compact, readable data for AI models.
Use TONL when you need type clarity without losing JSON compatibility, or when documenting complex data schemas.
Use YAML for configuration files, especially in DevOps (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions). It's more readable than JSON but can have ambiguity with indentation.
Use TOML for application configuration, especially in Python (pyproject.toml) or Rust (Cargo.toml) projects. It has explicit types and no ambiguity.
