awesome-yaml
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
- Does JSON support comments? ... NO
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/244777/can-i-use-comments-inside-a-json-file
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26775073/how-to-add-comments-in-json-file
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11195101/add-json-file-comments
- 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
## 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/)
