JSON vs YAML

JSON favors strict machine interchange; YAML favors human-edited configuration and comments.

Excellent for APIs
No comments

YAML

Readable configuration
Supports comments
Indentation errors can be subtle

Which should you use?

Use JSON for APIs and durable interchange. Use YAML for reviewed configuration where comments and concise syntax matter.
