About YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language)

Strengths

  • Most human-readable data format
  • Clean indentation-based syntax
  • Comments supported
  • Superset of JSON (valid JSON is valid YAML)

Limitations

  • Indentation-sensitive (whitespace errors)
  • Implicit type coercion can cause bugs
  • Security risks with arbitrary code execution
  • Harder to parse programmatically than JSON
