# YAML sucks.

YAML specification is so ambiguous,
that you can't be sure if tomorrow you will parse the same data from YAML file
as you have yesterday.

Let's see how different implementations parse YAML code.
Settings are default or near to default or typical for that language.
We use JSON to represent data the uniform way.
