About

GraphQL is a data query and manipulation language for APIs typically used for remote client-server communications.

YAML ("YAML Ain't Markup Language") is a human-readable data serialization language designed for representing structured data and exchanging it between systems and programming languages.

It uses indentation-based syntax with minimal structural characters, represents data using three core primitives such as mappings, sequences, and scalars, and includes features such as anchors and aliases for referencing data, along with a simple typing system for numbers, strings, and booleans.
