YAML

YAML Ain't Markup Language(YAML) is data store language, just like JSON. Instead of brackets, we use indentation for nesting. YAML supports

  • Integers
  • Floats
  • Strings (surrounded with '/"/nothing)
  • Boolean
  • Arrays (elements are denoted in newlines starting with - like markdown)
  • Dictionaries
    in a key:value format.

We can store multiple documents in a single YAML file. The start of a document is denoted with ---.
