• Better Readability: It is shorter and easier to understand than JSON.
• Cleaner Configurations: By use indentation for structure and avoiding curly braces, it facilitates the handling of configuration files.
• Compatibility: It is preferred over JSON by certain tools or systems.

    }
  ],
  "enabled": true
}

Advantages of YAML Over JSON

• No Brackets or Quotes: YAML eliminates the need for quotes, brackets, or commas.
• More Config-Friendly: YAML configuration files are easier to read and refer to nested structures.
• Widely Supported: Also YAML is a common format used by many DevOps and CI/CD tools.
• Readable Version Control Difference: Comparing YAML changes is made easier by Git or other VCS tools.
