A comment on JSON vs. YAML – try it yourself. Parent comment

One thing that comes to mind is (for data interchange), it allows for custom objects to be explicitly marked as such

http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2805712

additionally, it allows multiple top level objects in one file (which JSON can't do (not counting 3rd party modifications))

other than that, not much other use

That's just different syntax for a top-level list of objects.
