XML is commonly used, and while I don't particularly like it, I find 
it's still a reasonable choice in many circumstances.

If you're using Tango, you can check out tango.text.xml.Document, which 
will let you construct an XML document, and tango.text.xml.DocPrinter, 
which will let you get the textual representation of such a document.

In phobos, there's std.xml, which should offer equivalent functionality, 
but I haven't used it.
