| .yaml | .json | .xml |
| Human-readable code | Harder to read | Harder to read |
| Minimalist syntax | Explicit, strict syntax requirements | More verbose |
| Solely designed for data | Similar inline style to YAML (some YAML parsers can read JSON files) | Acts as a markup language, while YAML is for data formatting |
| Similar inline style to JSON (is a superset of JSON) | No comments | Contains more features than YAML, like tag attributes |
| Allows comments | Strings require double quotes | More rigidly defined document schema |
| Use Case | Use Case | Use Case |
YAML is best for data-heavy apps that use DevOps pipelines or VMs. It’s also helpful when other developers on your team will work with this data often and therefore need it to be more readable. | JSON is favoured in web development as it’s best for serialization formats and transmitting data over HTTP connections. | XML is best for complex projects that require fine control over validation, schema, and namespace. XML is not human-readable and requires more bandwidth and storage capacity, but offers unparalleled control. |
Thanks for reading! I hope you found this helpful and informative.
