Begin from scratch to learn YAML syntax, data modeling, and JSON handling, then apply YAML in configuration management and DevOps with JSONPath, supported by an experienced instructor.
Explore YAML tools for formatting, viewing, validating, and converting YAML to JSON, and learn how to edit YAML with Visual Studio Code.
Define data in YAML exclusively as key-value pairs, handle spaces in keys, use quotes for keys or values, and ensure unique, case-sensitive keys to avoid duplicates.
Explore writing YAML syntax, focusing on indentation, maps, and case sensitivity, and compare YAML to JSON while building and validating complex YAML files in VS Code.
Explore YAML data types, including strings, numbers, nulls, booleans, maps, and lists, and learn how keys are strings while values may be strings, numbers, nulls, booleans, maps, or lists.
Explore scalar types in YAML—strings, numbers, null, and booleans—how implicit typing and explicit quotes affect JSON conversion across parsers and viewers.
Master YAML objects and arrays by understanding maps, dictionaries, and nested structures; learn how indentation and hyphens define keys, values, and array elements, with JSON equivalents.
Explore anchors and aliases in YAML, showing how to define and reuse repeating blocks with ampersand and asterisk to reduce duplication, save space, and improve maintainability.
Explore how YAML defines Kubernetes deployments and services with apiVersion, kind, metadata, and spec. See practical YAML patterns, multiple containers, ports, and Kubernetes configuration in DevOps.
Discover how JSON, JavaScript object notation, serves as a lightweight, language independent data exchange format for web development and REST APIs, and how it compares to YAML and XML.
Explore the data types in json: strings, numbers, booleans, null, objects, and arrays. Learn how keys and values work, how strings use quotes, and how nested json and arrays differ.
Learn how to traverse JSON arrays with JSONPath, using root $, array indexing, and dot notation to access volumes and containers, including nested elements and ports.
Master JSONPath conditional operations to filter data without indexing, using the current element and dot notation. Apply the conditional operator to extract ports and names from nested arrays and containers.
YAML is one of the languages that has gained popularity in recent times. Applications such as OpenAPI, Swagger, DevOps, and Kubernetes use YAML to create human-readable configurations at a large scale. What is the key element in such integrations? You need to write YAML code so that it can be understood easily by developers. You will be learning about YAML language constructs from scratch in this course.
In this course, you will learn about JSON, YAML, and JSONPath.
In the first part, you will learn about JSON. JSON is primarily used in web development, where the data is being stored and transmitted. This is slowly replacing the XML.
Once you get comfortable with it, we will move on to the second part, which is YAML. YAML is primarily used in Tools such as Ansible and Kubernetes.
Finally, in part-3, you will learn about JSONPath. JSONPath is used to extract a subset of data from JSON files. This is similar to SQL for relational Databases.
