JSON for serialization all the way. It’s simple and to the point. It does one thing and does it well. There’s little room for annoying surprises. Any JSON can easily be minified and prettified back and forth. If you want it in binary format you can convert it to BSON.
Yaml is too much of a feature creep. It tries to do way too many things at the same time. There are so many traps to fall into if you’re not cautious enough. The same thing can be written in multitudes of ways.

Yes, but whoever decided that json can’t have trailing commas has my ire.
{ "a": 1, "b": 2, <-- nope }There was some other pitfall I can’t remember around missing keys and undefined, too, but I can’t remember it now.
Trailing commas are supported in json5, as well as comments
I’m pretty sure you can have trailing commas…
You can’t but some parser allow them. But those that do do not respect the standard.
Good to know. Must be why I thought you could. Thanks.
