YAML and JSON examples

What is YAML?

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization format commonly used for configuration files and data exchange. It relies on indentation to represent hierarchical relationships, making it easy to read and write. YAML supports basic data types like strings, numbers, booleans, arrays (lists), and dictionaries (maps). It is widely used in applications like Kubernetes configurations, CI/CD pipelines, and more.

Key Features of YAML:

  • Uses indentation to define structure
  • Supports comments using #
  • Allows both single-line and multi-line lists
  • Flexible with quotes for strings (single, double, or none)
name: John Doe
age: 30
skills:
  - Python
  - JavaScript
  - DevOps
address:
  street: 123 Main St
  city: Springfield
  zip_code: 12345
What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write while being machine-readable. It uses key-value pairs to represent data and is widely used in web applications for transmitting data between servers and clients. JSON supports various data types such as strings, numbers, booleans, arrays, objects, and null.

    Key Features of JSON:

  • Data is represented as key-value pairs
  • Keys must be strings enclosed in double quotes
  • Arrays are enclosed in square brackets [], while objects are enclosed in curly braces {}
  • No support for comments
  • Designed to be language-independent but closely resembles JavaScript syntax
{
  "name": "John Doe",
  "age": 30,
  "skills": [
    "Python",
    "JavaScript",
    "DevOps"
  ],
  "address": {
    "street": "123 Main St",
    "city": "Springfield",
    "zip_code": 12345
  }
}
