Is there a list of language codes in YAML or JSON somewhere out there?
Another format is fine, I can convert it if necessary.
JSON is comparatively faster than YAML. However, if data configurations are small then YAML is better since its interface is much more friendly. JSON has a feature to encode six different data types like an object, array, strings, numbers, null and boolean.
YAML supports comments where JSON does not. We can comment anywhere in the document with a simple # character. This has proven advantageous when writing configuration files where one developer can easily describe the configuration using the comments.
JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.
