Indented strings vs YAML
------------------------

[](#indented-strings-vs-yaml)

YAML is a full-featured markup language, while indented strings have only two base datatypes: Object node and string/int/float.
Indented strings are great for:

- Taxonomic data
- Directory structure
- Lists

But YAML would be a better choice, if you need to store:

- Configuration file
- Complicated data
