To be specific, JSON syntax is a subset of YAML version 1.2.
However, I hate YAML with a passion. It is worse than XML in my books. I can usually read JSON fine. I can also read XML in many cases. For the life of me, I just can't read YAML. It has something to do with "-", line indentation and different ways of writing lists.
Of course, someone will say YAML is technically better ...
- buster 13y agoDifferent for me, i would prefer YAML over XML or JSON
- turnip1979 13y agoDo you use your naked eyes or do you have any tool recommendations? I don't see YAML going away so I'd better deal :)
- ctb_mg 13y agoSame here, it is very difficult for me to tell levels of nested structures in yaml. Though I'm sure if I sat down and read up on it I could force it into my brain. But shouldn't it be intuitive to read without that?
- snogglethorpe 13y agoPrecisely. Python has exactly the same problem -- control-structure nesting quickly gets confusing and hard to read beyond a certain (fairly small) size -- but at least with python, you have the option of splitting off stuff into separate functions to limit the amount of nesting and size of blocks.
