Note that keys are always Strings, while values may be any value listed here.

Primitive values

Short	16 Bit	Numeric value from -32,768 to 32,767	key: 367
Integer	32 Bit	Numeric value from -2^31 to 2^31-1	key: 5000
Long	64 Bit	Numeric value from -2^63 to 2^63-1	key: 1525199972497
Float	32 Bit	Decimal number	key: .23
Double	64 Bit	Decimal number (may be large af)	key: 5430.674343
Boolean	1 Bit	True / false value	key: true

String

A String is a sequence of characters. Since some values break the YAML syntax, you might need to add "" to indicate the beginning and the end of the string.

key: "This is a String"

List

key:
  - "value"
  - "also part of the value"

Map

key:
  value_key: "Value String"
  another_value_key: 5.678
