📜 YAML Lists

YAML lists are ordered collections of values, created with a dash - followed by a space before each item. Clean, readable, and easier than JSON arrays.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep list items indented equally under their parent key. Use 2 spaces before each -.

📑 List of Mappings (Objects)

You can nest mappings inside lists to represent things like multiple users, servers, products, etc.

users:
  - name: Alex
    role: admin
  - name: Sam
    role: editor
  - name: Jamie
    role: viewer

📌 This structure is perfect for representing arrays of objects, like user profiles or configuration sets.
