YAML File Type
The YAML file extension is used for storing data as text such as configuration files. The contents of a YAML Document file are grouped into key/value pairs, which are separated by the hash mark character (#). For example:
| Full Name | YAML Document |
|---|---|
| Developer | N/A |
| Category | Developer Files |
JSON File Type
JSON is a lighter version of XML. It is an open standard format that stores data in key-value pairs. JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and it is an open, human-readable data interchange format. JSON is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML. JSON was originally developed in the early 2000s by Douglas Crockford for the JavaScript programming language, but it can be used with any programming or markup language that supports basic data types such as strings, numbers, and booleans.
| Full Name | JavaScript Object Notation Format |
|---|---|
| Developer | N/A |
| Category | Web Files |
