JSON is not related to YAML at all except in that it is a simple data format.

And as far as I can see from the specs, YAML also does not offer a direct way
to capture binary data. IMHO both need to specify binary data as an array of 
bytes.

All that aside, I think it would be good to have  an implementation that 
reads and produces YAML.
