What is YAML?
YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization format. It's commonly used for configuration files and data exchange between languages. YAML uses indentation to denote structure, making it easy to read and write.
What is JSON?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It's easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. JSON is widely used in web APIs and configuration files.
