Format Details
YAML
YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a human-friendly data serialization format designed to be more readable than JSON or XML for configuration files and structured data. It uses indentation and minimal punctuation to represent nested data structures, sequences, and mappings in a way that closely resembles natural language. YAML is the native configuration format for Kubernetes, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions, Ansible, and countless other modern developer tools.
GeoJSON
GeoJSON is an open standard for encoding geographic data structures as JSON. It represents points, lines, polygons, and feature collections with coordinates for maps and GIS tools. GeoJSON works well with web mapping libraries and converts cleanly to CSV or JSON tables for analysis.
