Hello,
This is slightly outside the scope of this mailing list, but I thought there might be some interested parties around.
I have developed a new serialization language called XNM (short for Xnm is Not a Markup language) and created a parser for it in a library called libxnm that heavily depends on glib.
It is available at:
http://xnm.sourceforge.net/Please send your comments to me and/or to this list as you see fit.
Have fun,
Dov
