[jira] [Created] (MNG-6061) Alternative to XML for Maven configuration

Keir created MNG-6061:
-------------------------

             Summary: Alternative to XML for Maven configuration
                 Key: MNG-6061
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6061
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: POM
    Affects Versions: 3.3.9
            Reporter: Keir


XML is often seen by developers as being verbose and cumbersome, I was wondering if creating a new configuration interface to Maven, using something like [YAML|http://yaml.org/] or [TOML|https://github.com/toml-lang/toml] would be possible, or is Maven to tightly tied to XML for this to be feasible?
