YAML

• ocaml-yaml: Parse and generate yaml 1.1 files.

Others

• sexplib: a S-expression parser and printer
• biniou: extensible binary data format, like JSON but faster.
• ocaml-protoc pure OCaml implementation of Protobuf with binary, Yojson and BuckleScript JSON support.

• camlon: configuration and serialization format similar to JSON but with an OCaml feel.

Data Science Files

• npy: read and write the numpy file format.
• hdf5-OCaml: OCaml implementation of hdf5 reader/writer. Mostly used in data science.
