JSON is not related to YAML at all except in that it is a simple data
format.
<br>
</blockquote></div>
That's true, but from the yaml v1.2 spec:<br>
"<span style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">YAML can
therefore be viewed as a natural superset of JSON, offering improved
human readability and a more complete information model. This is also
the case in practice; every JSON file is also a valid YAML file.</span></span>"<div class="im"><br>

offer a direct way

to capture binary data. <br>
</blockquote></div>
That is also true. I got the impression from wikipedia that YAML has a
direct way to capture the binary data. From the specs I see that YAML
uses base64 coding for binary data, which was what I hoped to prevent
because it causes a lot of computation overhead.<br>
