YAML格式的语法

基本格式

• 用空格缩进, 不能用tab
• 用#标记注释
• 列表: 用短划(-)标记元素
• 映射: 用冒号(:)分隔key, value. 如果写在一行, 需要用逗号分隔并前后加花括号
• 字符串: 不加引号, 加单引号或者加双引号都可以, 加双引号时可以使用\开头的转义字符
• 多行字符串可以用 | 或 > 符号, 紧接着换行符
• 重复的节点, 可以用 & 标识, 并用 * 来引用

基本元素

列表

# 普通
 - Casablanca
 - North by Northwest
 - The Man Who Wasn't There

# 单行

映射

# Indented Block

   There once was a short man from Ealing

a: 123                     # an integer
b: "123"                   # a string, disambiguated by quotes
c: 123.0                   # a float
d: !!float 123             # also a float via explicit data type prefixed by (!!)
e: !!str 123               # a string, disambiguated by explicit type
f: !!str Yes               # a string via explicit type
g: Yes                     # a boolean True (yaml1.1), string "Yes" (yaml1.2)
