YAML 1.2

YAML 1.2 is a human-readable data serialization format often used for configuration files and data exchange between languages. It allows users to structure data in a way that is easy to read and write, utilizing indentation and simple syntax. YAML supports various data types, including scalars (like strings and numbers), lists, and dictionaries. It is often preferred for its clarity over other formats like JSON or XML, making it suitable for both developers and non-developers to manage settings or configurations in applications. The 1.2 version includes updates for better compatibility with JSON and support for complex data structures.
