JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a streamlined format for data interchange, derived from a subset of the JavaScript programming language. IBM® Integration Bus offers support for the JSON domain, employing JSON parsers and serializers to handle messages within this domain. Both JSON and YAML are developed to provide a human-readable data interchange format. Table 2368 lists the comparison between YAML vs JSON.

Table 2368. Comparison between YAML vs JSON.

	YAML	JSON
Complexity	Complex and time consuming process of parsing Serialized data	Quickly and easily parse JSON serialized data with its simpler design
Support	Less community support	Larger community support and popularity
Comment	Supports comments	Doesn’t support comments
Reference	Ability to use reference of other data objects	Impossible to serialize complex structures with object references
Structure	Hierarchy is denoted by using double space characters. Tab characters are not allowed	Objects and Arrays are denoted in braces and brackets.
String quotes	String quotes are optional but it supports single and double quotes.	Strings must be in double quotes.
Root node	Root node can be any of the valid data types	Root node must either be an array or an object.

In HTTP messages for API requests, the most commonly found data format is JSON.
