Please reread the previous answers....



Did you do that? No? Then do it now....



The point is, you feed strings that are neither valid JSON nor
valid YAML into the JSON / YAML parser. What do you expect?

That's like putting buttons into a vending machine.

Josh was trying to show you what you should *instead* feed into
the parser, to get what you want.

BTW: JSON.parse is for parsing JSON. Not for getting some output.
