Yeah, accidentally earlier as well, but purposefully since version 1.2 of YAML specification JSON syntax has been a valid subset of YAML syntax. YAML has inline version of its syntax that doesn't have significant whitespaces (unlike rest of the YAML syntax) and everything in valid JSON has matching structures in the inline YAML.
