YAML newline syntax
A note about the different newline syntax in YAML.
Suppose test.yaml has the following content:
a: |
z
w
b: >
z
w
c: >-
z
wLoading it with PyYAML:
>>> import yaml
>>> with open('./test.yaml') as opened:
... yaml.safe_load(opened)
...
{'a': 'z\nw\n', 'b': 'z w\n', 'c': 'z w'}
So
|keeps all newline characters (\n).>only keeps the last newline character.>-removes all newline characters.
