YAML awesomeness

A curated list of YAML resources. Inspired by the awesome. See also Awesome Yaml (@datatxt)

Overview

YAML is a configuration format similar to JSON.

YAML is underrated

  • 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.

YAML is a supserset of JSON

## This is valid YAML syntax
## Try it out now by copy-pasting it into an online YAML parser
## (e.g., http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/)

{
 "json": [
   "fat and rigid"
 ],
 "yaml": [
   "skinny and flexible"
 ],
 "object": {
   "array": [
     {
       "null_value": null
     },
     {
       "boolean": true
     },
     {
       "integer": 1
     }
   ]
 }
}
