Therefore a YAML parser should be able to parse JSON. Both are simply data serialization formats. I mean there isn't too much right now that seems useful about this, but there is some interesting discussion if you search for YAML JSON. Personally I just use YAML for configuration, but I thought it was interesting enough to mention its relationship to JSON, that is all.

Where you would convert to JSON on the client side? Why not just stick with JSON data? So YAML is a server side only format? Where you would convert to JSON on the client side?
