URI:
tag:yaml.org,2002:str
Shorthand:
!!str
Kind:
Scalar.
Definition:
Unicode strings, a sequence of zero or more Unicode characters.
This type is usually bound to the native language’s string or
character array construct. Note that generic YAML tools should have
an immutable (const) interface to such constructs even when the
language default is mutable (such as in C/C++).
Canonical Format:
N/A (single format).
Resolution and Validation:
This tag accepts all scalar values. It is is typically used as
the fall-back tag for scalar nodes.
!!str Examples
string: abcd
