YAML ain't markup language. YAML is a concise data serialization language, which is typically considered easier to read than the more verbose JSON or XML. It is most often used in configuration files of servers and software applications. Clark Evans proposed the spec in 2001 as the result of an effort to simplify XML. According to his resume , at the time he conceived of YAML he was working with Python, which likely influenced the syntax of YAML as an indentation-based language.
YAML checker aims to be the YAML validator of choice for developers. The tool provides a simple interface to input YAML content (just copy + paste!), view your content with syntax highlighting, and instantly display any issues with your YAML along with a line number causing the problem. Once you have fixed your YAML, the validator will instantly update to indicate that your input is free of errors with a green success message.
