# Day 15 : Python Libraries for DevOps

### **JSON and YAML in Python**

**JSON**: The full form of JSON is JavaScript Object Notation. **JSON** is a lightweight data format for data interchange that can be easily read and written by humans, easily parsed, and generated by machines. Python has a built-in package called json.

**YAML:** The full form of YAML is Yet Another Markup Language. It is a lightweight, human-readable data-representation language. Since YAML is a superset of JSON, it can parse JSON with a YAML parser. The extensions in YAML are **.yaml** or **.yml**.
