I like json most because it's really easy to work with in web environment. Further you can use it to exchange information over restful api very good.

And I hate ini, because most editors only use two colors in it.
White for text, green for comments and that makes it hard to read.

I'm used to JSON, so I work with it quickly, but I really like the concept of YAML.

I think .conf is also a configuration file format. Isn't that?

@ashik No. .conf files only mean that its a config file, but the syntax inside differs. Most often is ini used.

How about a punched card format

Multiple arrays of a fixed length

Then you punch the indexes of the array to make your config and build a parser for it

Google punched card era

(Stupid idea, i know)

I like JSON but on configurations XML (Maybe it's the Java talking) seems to work fine for me too.
