I am looking for a standalone application that will allow administrators to easily edit data in a structured format that is easy to parse (INI, YAML, JSON, etc). Although I can find very complex and sophisticated XML editors, I can't find anything simple - all I want is an application that will read a simple file and allow admins to edit them in a structured way - they click on the file, the app opens it as a form, they fill in or edit the blanks, and the app saves the data in one of the simple formats listed above. I don't want them to use a text editor because I want it to be as simple as possible and I don't want there to be any possibility that the admins will make any formatting errors.

There have been several times in my career when such a tool would have been useful, but I've never been able to find one. Preferably it would be Open Source and run on both OSX and Windows.

If you choose YAML you do not a special tool. Any text editor would be enough. Make your YAML document look like a form. INI file is too simple and JSON may be not very readable.
