SAN vs TOML

TOML is the primary inspiration for SAN but there is some differences:

• Lists MUST be homogenous
• Maps (Tables) and Lists (Arrays) are cleaner / not mixed.
• Types are obvious (in TOML, is type of [[my_conf]] really obvious ?).
• Duplicated keys are not allowed: SAN is typo safe unlike TOML

SAN vs JSON

• Comments are allowed
• No null
• Less ambiguous
• Duplicate keys are NOT allowed

SAN vs YAML

• Cleaner
• Safer
• Better
• Not indentation based
