What is YAML?

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization format for all programming languages. It's widely used for configuration files and data exchange.

Why Use YAML?

Human-Readable

YAML's clean, intuitive syntax makes it easy to read and write for both people and machines.

Multi-Language Support

It integrates seamlessly with programming languages like Python, Ruby, and JavaScript.

Environment-Specific

Perfect for managing configurations in different environments (dev, staging, production).

Use Cases

Application Configuration

Define settings for servers, databases, and app behavior in a clear structure.

app:
  name: MyApp
  environment: production
  database:
    host: db.example.com
    port: 5432
