JSON vs. YAML – try it yourself

I like both JSON & YAML for different reasons. YAML is a great configuration format; it's fantastic for being read and written by humans. JSON is much better as a serialization format.

Write config files in YAML. Write APIs in JSON.

Why is it a better serialization format compared to yaml?

I don't really see how it is more explicit. Can you explain? Because of the braces?

i would say json is better because it is natively supported by browsers. assuming yaml was as well, would it come out a winner?
