Ups. Sorry, I meant "NO".

Yaml is a great, human-readible file format. Unless there's an exclamation point in it, then it is an illegible Eldrich horror.

YAML is pretty good for readability, pretty awful for writability

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?

[–] Fal@yiffit.net -1 points 11 months ago

No, because that's not valid json
