It uses indentation for structure rather than brackets or tags, making it highly readable. YAML is the standard configuration format for Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Ansible, GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, and many modern development tools. It supports scalars, sequences, mappings, anchors, aliases, and multi-line strings.
