> YAML is a superset of JSON

Actually it isn't. That was left as an afterthought and IMHO as a trick to try to ride the coat tails of JSON. YAML in the wild is a god-awful mess that bears no resemblance to JSON. To me YAML's only purpose is to enable lazy people like me to take notes in a text editor with code folding and syntax highlighting.




That sounds like a light version of org-mode.
