YAML Ain't Markup Language
YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-friendly data serialization format commonly used for configuration files. It uses indentation for structure rather than brackets or tags, making it highly readable. YAML is the standard configuration format for Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Ansible, GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, and many modern development tools. It supports scalars, sequences, mappings, anchors, aliases, and multi-line strings.
