The yaml document from hell
I used the official reference implementation to make a CLI converter between NestedText and TOML, JSON, and YAML. When generating one of these formats, you can use yamlpath queries to concisely but explicitly apply supported types to data elements.

The YAML Document from Hell
I'm a huge fan of NestedText, especially as there is no escaping needed ever.
If you ever want to use it as a pre-format to generate either TOML, JSON, or YAML, I used the official reference implementation to make a CLI converter between them and NestedText.
When generating one of these formats, you can use yamlpath queries to concisely but explicitly apply supported types to data elements.

A practical issue with YAML: your schema is not documentation
In case you're interested and haven't seen it, I've become a big fan of NestedText, which is similar to YAML but without the complicated parts, and without types (just strings, lists, and dicts). The idea is that any meaningful validation and coercion belongs in code anyway. An extra cool part is that nothing ever needs to be escaped, so the content is super clean and unambiguous.
If you want to play around with it, I made NestedTextTo (nt2 on PyPI), for CLI conversion between NestedText and YAML, TOML, or JSON, with a pretty cool (IMO) way to cast value types along the way.

How do you yaml
I recently fell in love with the NestedText format, and whipped up a CLI for conversions between it and YAML (and JSON and TOML), so now whenever manually viewing those other formats I pipe it through into readable NestedText. In this example, the result is identical to format A.

nt2: a CLI converter between NestedText and JSON, YAML, or TOML
So I made nt2 (NestedTextTo) (install from PyPI as nt2[toml] for TOML support).

How to troubleshoot yaml parsing error "did not find expected key"?
Install jq and yq, and wrap your commands with | yq -y ..

Memes are all cool and all. But this is your daily remaining that 10000! =
Confusingly there is another project called yq that does exactly what you're suggesting and it's a preprocessor that converts yaml to json and then used jq. https://github.com/kislyuk/yq

Yq is a portable yq: command-line YAML, JSON, XML, CSV and properties processor
I personally find the yq tool from https://github.com/kislyuk/yq much more useful: it has all the same options and formats as `jq` (as it's really a wrapper around jq). Rather than the `yq` in the OP here where only partial functionality exists.

There is also yq [1], which attempts the same for yaml, toml and xml. (And confusingly also contains a binary named "xq" for querying xml, however with a different syntax)
