Difference between JSON and YAML
JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation, a lightweight format for data interchange.
YAML stands for YAML Ain't Markup Language, a human-readable data serialization format.
YAML is a superset of JSON, so all JSON is valid YAML.
YAML is indentation-based and supports comments, while JSON is brace-based and doesn't support comments.
