JSON and YAML Knowledge

JSON Format

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format. It is based on a subset of JavaScript but is language-independent.

YAML Format

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization language. It is commonly used for configuration files but can be used in many applications where data is being stored or transmitted.

Key Differences

  1. Readability: YAML is generally more readable than JSON
  2. Comments: YAML supports comments, JSON doesn't
  3. Quotes: Strings in YAML can be unquoted, JSON requires quotes
  4. Syntax: YAML uses indentation for structure, JSON uses braces and brackets
