What is YAML?
YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization format. It uses indentation to represent nested structures and is commonly used for configuration files, data exchange, and storing structured data.
What is JSON?
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. It is widely used for web APIs and configuration files.
