URI: tag:yaml.org,2002:value Shorthand: !!value Kind: Scalar. Canonical: N/A (single format). Regexp: = Definition: Specify the default value of a mapping. The = key is used to denote the "default value" of a mapping. In some cases, it is useful to evolve a schema so that a scalar value is replaced with a mapping. A processor may present a "scalar value" method that provides the value directly if the node is a scalar or returns the value of this key if the node is a mapping. If applications only access the scalar value through this interface then the schema may freely grow over time replacing scalar values with richer data constructs without breaking older processing systems. --- # Old schema link with: - library1.dll - library2.dll --- # New schema link with: - = : library1.dll version: 1.2 - = : library2.dll version: 2.3
