Ah, the classic "yaml is too hard, why can't it be more like json? 😩" tale, as if the internet needed another tortured metaphor for data serialization woes. This riveting exposé turns a complex format into a sitcom villain, when in reality, it's just a language with a few quirks, like every other. Bravo for reinventing the wheel of complaints! 🛞🎉

The yaml document from hell

As a data format, yaml is extremely complicated and it has many footguns. In this post I explain some of those pitfalls by means of an example, and I suggest a few simpler and safer yaml alternatives.

YAML is known to be nobody's friend and almost everyone's enemy. Try this to see if it's your friend or foe!

🎉 Behold, a 12-minute joyride through the riveting world of "Packed Data in Haskell" — because when you're not busy serenading code with your 🥁 musical genius, you're crafting verbose essays on data serialization. Spoiler alert: It's just yet another attempt to sound fancy while discussing #JSON and #XML. 🚀

Data serialization tools: Avro vs Protobuf | SoftwareMill

Avro and Protobuf both use schema for describing the binary encoded format. Their schema languages are much simpler than XML schema or JSON schema.
