I don't know. Maybe there's an alternate syntax in YAML that uses braces like JSON and isn't whitespace-sensitive? I'm not enough of an expert on them to know all of the little details. You can read what little it says on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML#JSON But I know that whitespace matters in YAML at least some of the time, and I've hated dealing with it. - Jonathan M Davis
