A reasonable choice (in contrast to "no" or "null"). YAML is simply not a format for all use cases. It's good enough for many tasks, and more readable than most other formats where it fits.
- dragonwriter 4y ago> YAML is simply not a format for all use cases. Maybe, but unquoted strings not being the right choice for all use cases (or, similarly, structure-by-indentation not being) doesn’t show that, since YAML supports unquoted and quoted strings, and supports both indent-sensitive “block style” and delimiter-based “flow style”.
- tgv 4y agoTo me, it doesn't fit where people with a less technical background can/must edit configuration files, or where there's a large risk of mixing up null and "null". For readability, it's fine, except for the ugly node reference syntax.
