Convert between JSON and YAML formats
| Feature | JSON | YAML |
|---|---|---|
| Readability | Moderate | High |
| Comments | No | Yes (#) |
| Data types | Strings, numbers, booleans, null, arrays, objects | Same + dates, multi-line strings |
| Common uses | APIs, data exchange | Config files, CI/CD |
JSON uses braces and brackets with quoted keys, while YAML uses indentation and is more human-readable. YAML supports comments, JSON doesn't. Both can represent the same data structures.
Use YAML for configuration files where human readability matters (Docker Compose, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions). Use JSON for APIs and data exchange where strict parsing is important.
