By many people, e.g https://learning.sap.com/learning-journeys/build-side-by-sid...

But the yaml docs said it’s accidental

https://yaml.org/spec/1.2.2/

«The YAML 1.18 specification was published in 2005. Around this time, the developers became aware of JSON9. By sheer coincidence, JSON was almost a complete subset of YAML (both syntactically and semantically).»

Thanks. Didn't realize anyone thought this. I checked the YAML docs when I saw this post, and it didn't seem like an official feature.

The SAP article definitely states it, that's the first time I have seen it described that way.

I’ve seen the claim around, and I actually believed it, to be honest. I found that article by googling. I guess it’s still true enough for many cases.
