Summary
HUML (Human-oriented Markup Language) is a simple, strict serialization language for documents, datasets, and configuration. The article presents a sample HUML document demonstrating its syntax features including key-value pairs, inline lists and dictionaries, multi-line lists, and string handling. The language is positioned as a human-readable markup alternative, with the author acknowledging that creating new markup languages is inherently subjective.
