YAML

In code

configuration.yaml.yaml

You meet YAML in many places as a contributor: configuration.yaml, automations and scripts, services.yaml of an integration, the configuration of an app, the sentences of the intents repository, and the examples in the documentation.

The documentation has its own YAML style, so every example looks the same.
