YAML Pairs

YAML Pairs​

YAML Pair (!!pairs) is an ordered sequence of key:value pairs allowing duplicates.

YAML Pair is a common type used for modeling is the ordered list of named values, allowing duplicates.

note

The !!pairs tag may be given explicitly.

Alternatively, the application may choose to implicitly type a sequence of single-key mappings to pairs. In this case, an explicit !!seq transfer must be given to sequences of single-key mappings that do not represent pairs.

For example:

Block-tasks: !!pairs
  - meeting: with team.
  - meeting: with boss.
  - break: lunch.
  - meeting: with client.
Equivalent JSON

  "Block-tasks": [

      "with boss."
    ],
    [
      "break",
      "lunch."
    ],
    [
      "meeting",
      "with client."
    ]
  ]

You can also use the flow style:
