No. Different ideal use cases, though they can overlap.

TOML is great for simple config files that don't need anything beyond key/value or arrays.

YAML is great for config files with more complicated data structure requirements.

JSON is great for self-describing serialized interchange.

SQLite is in a whole other class of technology. I suppose you can store config information in a table if you're already using SQLite in your app. If you're exposing it the way you would with a normal config file, the non-text format introduces friction.
