I almost picked INI, but almost every single app using INI-like format either botches quoting or does it inconsistently.

What's left: XML is utterly awful, JSON is the only format that's widely known and has canonical quoting rules.

Given the choices: INI, otherwise TOML: INI like, but with a spec and handles hierarchical configs just fine https://github.com/toml-lang/toml

I put JSON but actually I prefer YAML since you don't need to quote value names.

I would have voted for "not xml" if that was an option.
