About JSON and YAML
JSON versus YAML at a glance.
What is JSON?
JSON uses explicit braces and quotes. It is the default for APIs and programmatic interchange but can be verbose for human-edited configuration.
What is YAML?
YAML uses indentation and fewer symbols, which makes large configs easier to scan and edit by hand while staying machine-readable.
