- Description
- A JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) file is a lightweight, text-based, human-readable format used for data interchange. It is designed to store and transport data. JSON files use the .json file extension and are structured as a collection of name/value pairs, where the names are strings, and the values can be strings, numbers, arrays, or even other JSON objects. This format is widely used in web applications for exchanging data between a client and a server, as well as in configuration files.
- YAML is a human-readable data serialization language, commonly used for configuration files and in applications that involve data storage. It is a structured language, based on indentation, that is easy to read and write. YAML files typically have the file extension ".yml" or ".yaml" and they are used to store data in a hierarchical structure.
