I have no hate for YAML, but I think this is the "human readable" format with the most gotchas you might ever encounter. Every time I use YAML, I got bitten by some edge case. For this reason, I wouldn't count of JSON compatibility, except if the implementation also passes a comprehensive set of JSON tests (which the few I used in the past did not).

Even after writing yaml for years, I can never get the indentation, when to use a dash or not and other things right without an editor knowing the spec of the yaml file I'm trying to write. It's bonkers.
