- Description
- YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization language. It is commonly used for configuration files, but can be used in many applications where data is being stored or transmitted. YAML documents are organized into a tree-like structure made up of key-value pairs, lists, and nested structures. This makes it ideal for storing hierarchical data, such as configuration settings.
- 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.
