# SCALAR TYPES #
################
# Our root object (which continues for the entire document) will be a map,
# which is equivalent to a dictionary, hash or object in other languages.
key: value
another_key: Another value goes here.
a_number_value: 100
scientific_notation: 1e+12
# The number 1 will be interpreted as a number, not a boolean. if you want
# it to be interpreted as a boolean, use true
boolean: true
boolean_different_case: False
boolean_yes: YES
null_value: null
key with spaces: value
# Notice that strings don't need to be quoted. However, they can be.
however: 'A string, enclosed in quotes.'
'Keys can be quoted too.': "Useful if you want to put a ':' in your key."
single quotes: 'have ''one'' escape pattern'
double quotes: "have many: \", \0, \t, \u263A, \x0d\x0a == \r\n, and more."
# UTF-8/16/32 characters need to be encoded
Superscript two: \u00B2
# Multi-line flow scalars can be unquoted or quoted.
unquoted_scalar: Multiline scalar
with 'quotes' in the middle.
This is the last line.
single_quoted_scalar: 'Multiline single quoted scalar
with "quotes" in the middle
Last line'
double_quoted_scalar: "Multiline double quoted scalar
with 'quotes' in the middle
end"
# Multiple-line strings can be written either as a 'literal block' (using |),
# or a 'folded block' (using '>').
literal_block: |
This entire block of text will be the value of the 'literal_block' key,
with line breaks being preserved.
The literal continues until de-dented, and the leading indentation is
stripped.
Any lines that are 'more-indented' keep the rest of their indentation -
these lines will be indented by 4 spaces.
folded_style: >
This entire block of text will be the value of 'folded_style', but this
time, all newlines will be replaced with a single space.
Blank lines, like above, are converted to a newline character.
'More-indented' lines keep their newlines, too -
this text will appear over two lines.
literal_block_with_strip_chomping: |-
This entire block of text will be the value of the 'literal_block' key,
with line breaks being preserved and the strip chomping indicator.
The literal continues until de-dented, and the leading indentation is
stripped.
Any lines that are 'more-indented' keep the rest of their indentation -
these lines will be indented by 4 spaces.
literal_block_with_keep_chomping: |+
This entire block of text will be the value of the 'literal_block' key,
with line breaks being preserved and the keep chomping indicator.
The literal continues until de-dented, and the leading indentation is
stripped.

# COLLECTION TYPES #
####################
# Nesting uses indentation. 2 space indent is preferred (but not required).
a_nested_map:
key: value
another_key: Another Value
another_nested_map:
hello: hello
# Maps don't have to have string keys.
0.25: a float key
# Keys can also be complex, like multi-line objects
# We use ? followed by a space to indicate the start of a complex key.
? |
This is a key
that has multiple lines
: and this is its value
# YAML also allows mapping between sequences with the complex key syntax
# Some language parsers might complain
# An example
? - Manchester United
- Real Madrid
: [2001-01-01, 2002-02-02]
# Sequences (equivalent to lists or arrays) look like this
# (note that the '-' counts as indentation):
a_sequence:
- Item 1
- Item 2
- 0.5 # sequences can contain disparate types.
- Item 4
- key: value
another_key: another_value
-
- This is a sequence
- inside another sequence
- - - Nested sequence indicators
- can be collapsed
# Since YAML is a superset of JSON, you can also write JSON-style maps and
# sequences:
json_map: {"key": "value"}
json_seq: [3, 2, 1, "takeoff"]
and quotes are optional: {key: [3, 2, 1, takeoff]}
#######################
# EXTRA YAML FEATURES #
#######################
# YAML also has a handy feature called 'anchors', which let you easily duplicate
# content across your document. Both of these keys will have the same value:
anchored_content: &anchor_name This string will appear as the value of two keys.
other_anchor: *anchor_name
# Anchors can be used to duplicate/inherit properties
base: &base
name: Everyone has same name
# The regexp << is called Merge Key Language-Independent Type. It is used to
# indicate that all the keys of one or more specified maps should be inserted
# into the current map.
foo: &foo
<<: *base
age: 10
bar: &bar
<<: *base
age: 20
# foo and bar would also have name: Everyone has same name
# YAML also has tags, which you can use to explicitly declare types.
explicit_string: !!str 0.5
# Some parsers implement language specific tags, like this one for Python's
# complex number type.
python_complex_number: !!python/complex 1+2j
# We can also use yaml complex keys with language specific tags
? !!python/tuple [5, 7]
: Fifty Seven
# Would be {(5, 7): 'Fifty Seven'} in Python

# YAML also has a set type, which looks like this:
set:
? item1
? item2
? item3
or: {item1, item2, item3}
# Sets are just maps with null values; the above is equivalent to:
set2:
item1: null
item2: null
