Arrays

Almost every programming language does support Arrays: they are a List of elements. C# does have both Arrays and Lists: for developers they are NOT the same but for users with YAML they work the same way. From now on we'll call them Lists.

C# is a strongly typed language and because of this every List must contain only a single, specified type.

For example, if we create a List<string> it can contains only strings, while a List<int> can contain only int32.

In a list a value can be repeated as much times as you want.

YAML does support two different notation for Lists:

list1: [a, b, c]
list2:
- a
- b
- c

They are almost the same: the only difference is that the second one does support also objects while the first one doesn't.

If you want to give to YAML a empty List then do the following thing: list3: []
