if i miss a quote in json, it’s an invalid file. I fix it and move on. Maybe just pass it through a beautifier or something.
if I mess up indentation in yaml (which can easily happen after a copy and paste), I get a valid file that means something completely different. And no beautifier can help with that, because it’s a valid file. I have to look really closely to find the error, because tools can’t help. And when I do, I usually have to change multiple lines, instead of just adding a comma.
I hate yaml with a passion. for stuff such as ansible it becomes an uneditable mess (one copy and paste away from destroying the whole file)
luckily, yaml is a superset of json, so you could just write json and feed it through a yaml parser and it’ll work
