%YAML 1.1 # Reference card --- Collection indicators: '? ' : Key indicator. ': ' : Value indicator. '- ' : Nested series entry indicator. ', ' : Separate in-line branch entries. '[]' : Surround in-line series branch. '{}' : Surround in-line keyed branch. Scalar indicators: '''' : Surround in-line unescaped scalar ('' escaped '). '"' : Surround in-line escaped scalar (see escape codes below). '|' : Block scalar indicator. '>' : Folded scalar indicator. '-' : Strip chomp modifier ('|-' or '>-'). '+' : Keep chomp modifier ('|+' or '>+'). 1-9 : Explicit indentation modifier ('|1' or '>2'). # Modifiers can be combined ('|2-', '>+1'). Alias indicators: '&' : Anchor property. '*' : Alias indicator. Tag property: # Usually unspecified. none : Unspecified tag (automatically resolved by application). '!' : Non-specific tag (by default, "!!map"/"!!seq"/"!!str"). '!foo' : Primary (by convention, means a local "!foo" tag). '!!foo' : Secondary (by convention, means "tag:yaml.org,2002:foo"). '!h!foo': Requires "%TAG !h! <prefix>" (and then means "<prefix>foo"). '!<foo>': Verbatim tag (always means "foo"). Document indicators: '%' : Directive indicator. '---': Document header. '...': Document terminator. Misc indicators: ' #' : Throwaway comment indicator. '`@' : Both reserved for future use. Special keys: '=' : Default "value" mapping key. '<<' : Merge keys from another mapping. Core types: # Default automatic tags. '!!map' : { Hash table, dictionary, mapping } '!!seq' : { List, array, tuple, vector, sequence } '!!str' : Unicode string More types: '!!set' : { cherries, plums, apples } '!!omap': [ one: 1, two: 2 ] Language Independent Scalar types: { ~, null } : Null (no value).
