YAML is pretty good for readability, pretty awful for writability

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Interesting, I find that the other reasonable options are far less writable than yaml

Rule of thumb: valid json is valid yaml. If you're ever unsure, do it the old fashioned way.

I really don’t see how that’s true.

You’re telling me this is valid yaml?

{ firstName: “Intensely” }

How is that yaml?

Don't listen to me, put that in a yaml validator for yourself: https://yamllint.com

No, because that's not valid json
