Separate each entry with commas and enclose in square brackets. yaml: | seq: [ a, b, c ] php: | array('seq' => array('a', 'b', 'c')) --- test: Simple Inline Hash brief: > Mapping can also be contained on a single line, using the inline syntax. Each key-value pair is separated by a colon, with a comma between each entry in the mapping. Enclose with curly braces. yaml: | hash: { name: Steve, foo: bar } php: | array('hash' => array('name' => 'Steve', 'foo' => 'bar')) --- test: Multi-line Inline Collections todo: true brief: > Both inline sequences and inline mappings can span multiple lines, provided that you indent the additional lines. yaml: | languages: [ Ruby, Perl, Python ] websites: { YAML: yaml.org, Ruby: ruby-lang.org, Python: python.org, Perl: use.perl.org } php: | array( 'languages' => array('Ruby', 'Perl', 'Python'), 'websites' => array( 'YAML' => 'yaml.org', 'Ruby' => 'ruby-lang.org', 'Python' => 'python.org', 'Perl' => 'use.perl.org' ) ) --- test: Commas in Values (not in the spec!) todo: true brief: > List items in collections are delimited by commas, but there must be a space after each comma. This allows you to add numbers without quoting. yaml: | attendances: [ 45,123, 70,000, 17,222 ] php: | array('attendances' => array(45123, 70000, 17222))
