Ah, Java. Tooting my own horn a bit, I wrote a custom YAML/XML/JSON parser for C# specifically because the existing parsers required me to turn the data into objects before being able to anything at all, rather than allowing me to interact with the data just as data. Say, cleaning up and/or validating the data.
This is a common problem I've run into in strongly typed languages; can't "just have some data", have to have an object :/
