YAML awesomeness
A curated list of YAML resources. See also Awesome Yaml (@datatxt)
YAML is a configuration format similar to JSON.
- Some developers who use it had a negative first-impression of the format, usually because of the syntax.
- Some dislike the fact that YAML allows the use of indentation for specifying scope (although indentation is technically not required).
- Some consider YAML to be superfluous: "XML and JSON fit the bill nicely enough".
- Some have either never heard of YAML or are influenced by the fact that it is (or at least was) not as famous as JSON or XML.
- Does JSON support comments? ... NO
- Does JSON support comments? ... YES (if you use YAML)
- To get JSON with comments, just use YAML instead of JSON
- YAML is a superset of JSON
