Question

Basically trying to something in yaml that could be done using this json:

  { 
    model: \"a\"
    type: \"x\"
    #bunch of properties...
  },
  {         


        

Answer 1

Use a dash to start a new list element:

models:
 - model: "a"
   type: "x"
   #bunch of properties...
 - model: "b"
   type: "y"
   #bunch of properties...
