My biggest gripe with YAML is its meaningful whitespace. Debugging nearly invisible indentation problems can be such a pain.

- meowface 7y agoI'd argue that's the defining feature, though. That's one of the main reasons people use it over JSON.
- karussell 7y agoIt is not so much about indentation vs. brackets. For me the main reason over JSON is that YAML works without quoting the entries and the possibility of comments. And btw: every JSON file should be a valid YAML file in theory.
- dylan604 7y agothis is my problem with python. however, this biggest issue why YAML is my least favorite config format. unquoted strings with colons is another top one.
