YAML vs JSON

Both YAML and JSON are popular data serialization formats. YAML is more human-readable with its indentation-based syntax, while JSON is more widely supported in programming languages.

When to Use YAML

  • Configuration files (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD)
  • Human-editable data files
  • Documentation and examples

When to Use JSON

  • API responses and requests
  • Data interchange between systems
  • JavaScript/TypeScript projects
