JSON/XML/YAML Portfolio Template

This project contains a document that serves as a Portfolio Template in JSON, XML, and YAML formats. The documents provide structured information about one's background, title, location, and various online profiles. Feel free to edit it and expand upon it as you see fit.

Background Story

I created this project to format my portfolio in JSON, XML, and YAML formats. I wanted to create a portfolio that could be used for various purposes, including configuration files, data exchange between systems, APIs, and more.

Definitions

JSON, XML, and YAML are all data serialization formats used to structure and represent data in a standardized way. They are commonly used for various purposes, including configuration files, data exchange (interchanges) between systems, APIs, and more. Here's how each format is used:

Getting Started

Use the following files as a template for your portfolio:

• JSON
• XML
• YAML

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation):

• JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format that uses a syntax similar to JavaScript object literals. It consists of key-value pairs, arrays, and nested objects.
• JSON is commonly used for transmitting data between a server and a web application. It's easy for humans to read and write, and it's easy for machines to parse and generate.
• JSON has become the de facto standard for data exchange in modern web applications, APIs (e.g., RESTful APIs), and configuration files.

XML (eXtensible Markup Language):

• XML is a markup language that uses a structured format to represent data. It consists of a set of tags that define elements and their relationships.
• XML is widely used for representing structured data in a human-readable and machine-readable format. It's used for configuration files, data exchange, document storage, and more.
• Applications use XML parsers to read and manipulate XML data. Common use cases include RSS feeds, configuration files (e.g., web application configuration), and document formats (e.g., Microsoft Office Open XML).

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language):

YAML is a human-readable data serialization format that uses indentation to represent data structures. It's often used for configuration files and data exchange. YAML is less verbose compared to XML and JSON, making it well-suited for configuration files where readability is important. It's commonly used in configuration files for software projects, continuous integration tools, and infrastructure as code tools like Ansible.

Closing

In summary, JSON, XML, and YAML are used for structuring and representing data in various applications and contexts. The choice of format depends on factors such as the use case, the technologies involved, and the preference for readability and ease of use.

Note

I will be adding more details to the documents over time such as skills, experience, education, certifications, etc. Feel free to fork this repo and enter a pull request if you'd like to contribute! If you decide to enter a pull request with additional details, please make sure to update all three documents.

Tip

For an open-sourced portfolio website template, I'd suggest you checking out my repo here, which looks like this. Feel free to fork it and use it as you see fit!

Happy Coding! 🚀
