2020年12月14日 · TOML said "TOML and YAML both emphasize human readability features, like comments that make it easier to understand the purpose of a given line. TOML differs in combining these, allowing comments (unlike JSON) but preserving simplicity (unlike YAML)."

2017年6月4日 · YAML is pretty good for serialization; it has comments, extra data types. Other than Anchors, there really is not much issues I have with YAML. YAML v1.2 is also a superset of JSON, so where JSON would normally be fine, I could technically use a YAML parser and get similar benefits.

2017年2月23日 · Another viable choice is toml, which is another "between ini and xml" format. Today toml is mature in Python - from Python 3.11 on tomllib is included in the Python Standard Library. It's a read-only parser, but the offical doc mentions external read-write libraries. What's good with toml? # Toml prioritize human-readability, allowing comments.

2025年1月30日 · I’m a bit confused about the different configuration file formats: dotenv, YAML, INI, CFG(inc: .conf, .cfg, .config), and TOML. They all seem to serve the same purpose of storing configurations, keys and secrets but I’m not sure which one to use in different types of projects.

Definitely TOML, for the following four reasons: YAML is underspecified and is handled inconsistently between parsers. YAML's syntax is much more complex and subtle than TOML. (I can write TOML and trust that it'll parse as intended the first time. With YAML, I often just have to experiment until the parser outputs the intended structure.)

A lot of folks have already stated it, but toml is a much better standard than yaml. The spec is much simpler and has fewer issues. The only problem is that the spec has yet to reach a 1.0, but supposedly the 1.0 spec will be backwards compatible with the existing spec so it …

2016年9月6日 · Key: | This is a very long sentence that spans several lines in the YAML but which will be rendered as a string with newlines preserved. is translated to "This is a very long sentence‌**\n** that spans several lines in the YAML‌**\n** but which will be rendered as a string‌**\n** with newlines preserved.\n"

Below are the results of a benchmark to compare YAML vs JSON loading times, on Python and Perl. JSON is much faster, at the expense of some readability, and features such as comments. Test method. 100 sequential runs on a fast machine, average number of seconds

2023年12月9日 · Yaml, easy to read and more modular than toml. Also, you can use dynamic configuration files (toml or yaml, prefer yaml) which don’t require to redeploy your containers when you update your configuration. Also, it is a learning experience for kubernetes… ;p

2022年7月13日 · YAML (being a superset of JSON) is great at representing nested data structures. In my opinion that is what also makes YAML bad for configuration files. YAML and TOML are totally different things designed for different purposes. They can coexsist in the ecosystem and don't have to be enemies.
