The YAML Format
YAML, which stands for "YAML Ain't Markup Language," is a human-readable data serialization format frequently used for application configuration. It features a straightforward and intuitive syntax, utilizing indentation to represent hierarchical data. While TOML is even simpler, it often doesn't receive the recognition it deserves. YAML is widely employed for configuring tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, and Ansible.
The Properties Format
The Properties format is a text file commonly utilized in Java applications to store key-value pairs. Each line in the file represents a property, with the key and value separated by either an equal sign (=) or a colon (:). Properties files facilitate configuration management, enabling the modification of application settings without the need to alter the source code.
