Isn't AXON as readable as YAML?

Let's consider example of YAML formatted configuration file:

application: myapp
version: alpha-001
runtime: python27
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true

# url handlers
handlers:
- url: /
  script: home.app

- url: /index\.html
  script: home.app

- url: /stylesheets
  static_dir: stylesheets

- url: /(.*\.(gif|png|jpg))
  static_files: static/\1
  upload: static/.*\.(gif|png|jpg)

- url: /admin/.*
  script: admin.app
  login: admin

- url: /.*
  script: not_found.app



In [1]:

    
# print all urls
import yaml
import io
val = yaml.safe_load(io.open("example_config.yaml", "rt"))
print([entry["url"] for entry in val["handlers"]])









    



['/', '/index\\.html', '/stylesheets', '/(.*\\.(gif|png|jpg))', '/admin/.*', '/.*']

In AXON it will be formatted as:

application: "myapp"
version: "alpha-001"
runtime: "python27"
api_version: 1
threadsafe: true

# url handlers
handlers: [
  { url: "/"
    script: "home.app" }

  { url: "/index\.html"
    script: "home.app" }

  { url: "/stylesheets"
    static_dir: "stylesheets" }

  { url: "/(.*\.(gif|png|jpg))"
    static_files: "static/\1"
    upload: "static/.*\.(gif|png|jpg)" }

  { url: "/admin/.*"
    script: "admin.app"
    login: "admin" }

  { url: "/.*"
    script: "not_found.app" }
]



In [2]:

    
# print all urls
import axon
val = axon.load("example_config1.axon")
print([entry["url"] for entry in val["handlers"]])









    



['/', '/index\\.html', '/stylesheets', '/(.*\\.(gif|png|jpg))', '/admin/.*', '/.*']

With AXON it can be also presented in the following form:

_
  application: "myapp"
  version: "alpha-001"
  runtime: "python27"
  api_version: 1
  threadsafe: true

  # url handlers
  handlers
    _
      url: "/"
      script: "home.app" 
    _
      url: "/index\.html"
      script: "home.app"
    _
      url: "/stylesheets"
      static_dir: "stylesheets"
    _
      url: "/(.*\.(gif|png|jpg))"
      static_files: "static\1"
      upload: "static/.*\.(gif|png|jpg)"
    _
      url: "/admin/.*"
      script: "admin.app"
      login: "admin"
    _
      url: "/.*"
      script: "not_found.app"



In [3]:

    
# print all urls
vals = axon.load("example_config2.axon")
print([entry.url for entry in vals[0].handlers])









    



['/', '/index\\.html', '/stylesheets', '/(.*\\.(gif|png|jpg))', '/admin/.*', '/.*']

Isn't configuration file in AXON as readable as in YAML?
