I am going to learn YAML data serialization language, and I want to answer these questions based on a YAML script. What would be the right answers?

I have learned some JSON but to differentiate YAML with JSON & to get an idea of YAML I have found this script with these questions.


{% if country('ae') %}
data:

- debug: false
modules:
  - type: bannerModule
  numPerRow: 1
  externalexternalLink: true
  banners:
    - linkUrl:  https://www.mi.com/en/about/
        imageUrl: IMAGE_BASE/{{lang()}}_banner-01.png
  - type: bannerModule
  numPerRow: 2
  banners:
    - linkUrl: "/electronics-and-mobiles/mobiles-and-accessories/mobiles-20905/xiaomi"
        imageUrl: IMAGE_BASE/{{lang()}}_cat-module-01.png
    - linkUrl: "/electronics-and-mobiles/wearable-technology/xiaomi"
      imageUrl: IMAGE_BASE/{{lang()}}_cat-module-02.png
    - linkUrl: "/home-and-kitchen/xiaomi"
      imageUrl: IMAGE_BASE/{{lang()}}_cat-module-03.png
    #linkUrl: "/electronics-and-mobiles/mobiles-and-accessories/accessories-16176/bluetooth-speakers/xiaomi?sort[by]=price&sort[dir]=desc"

  1. What yml condition sets the country selection behaviour of the page?

  3. What link is set for the Audio Video page?
  4. What is en_category-01.png , what is this image about?
  5. How many category banners are there in this sample page?
  6. How many banners are there in the Saudi page?
  7. Which page is shown to a user when clicking banner-01.png ?
  8. Two links on this yml file are in the wrong format resulting in a 404 page when clicking on the banner assigned to it. Which banners are those?
  9. One banner is not active in this yml file, which banner is that?

  • If you are trying to learn YAML, you should definitely try to answer these questions yourself. Then, if you are unsure about an answer, you can ask about the specific problem you have when trying to understand the YAML code. Finally, the code you show is not valid YAML, it has `{% ... %}` stuff in it which can be one of several templating engines used with YAML. You have to clarify whether and how the questions are also about that templating engine. – flyx Mar 29 '19 at 13:26
  • This is not YAML, and a YAML parser cannot parse this. This is a template that (depending on what the template expansion mechanism does) could generate YAML. Independent of that, the interpretation of the data structure is not done by YAML, so **none** of your questions make any sense for YAML per sé, but they might in the context of a program that happens to use YAML as storage format. My recommendation: find that program, delete all the tags (including the YAML tag) and the tag for program to your question. – Anthon Mar 29 '19 at 13:27
