- pletnes 8y agoJson is for machines, yaml is for humans, as a general rule. They’re mostly compatible feature-wise.
- skolemtotem 8y agoAnd if I remember correctly, YAML is a superset of JSON.
- teekert 8y agoYaml is well readable by a human but it's much to tightly defined to be "for humans". It's for machines but readable by humans I'd say. Plus it's got sets and you can embed csv's (just 2 things of the top of my head).
- tr33house 8y agoyou want to use protobufs
- strkek 8y agoObligatory link to the "YAML sucks" repo: https://github.com/cblp/yaml-sucks https://github.com/cblp/yaml-sucks If you ignore the flame-inducing title, it's just a table showing how different implementations parse YAML input in very different ways.
