Why YAML sucks? (programming.dev)
submitted 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) by heikkiket@programming.dev to c/programming@programming.dev

I feel that Yaml sucks. I understand the need for such markup language but I think it sucks. Somehow it's clunky to use. Can you explain why?

YAML had comments and trailing commas, therefore it's objectively better than JSON. If you want a compromise solution that mostly looks like JSON, try JSON5.
