# `yamlencode` Function
`yamlencode` encodes a given value to a string using
[YAML 1.2](https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec) block syntax.
~> **Warning:** This function is currently **experimental** and its exact
result format may change in future versions of Nomad, based on feedback.
Do not use `yamldecode` to construct a value for any argument where
changes to the result would be disruptive. To get a consistent string
representation of a value use [`jsonencode`](/nomad/docs/reference/hcl2/functions/encoding/jsonencode) instead; its
results are also valid YAML because YAML is a JSON superset.
<!--
The condition for removing the above warning is that the underlying
go-cty-yaml folder makes a stable release with a commitment to guarantee
that the representation of particular input will not change without a
major release. It is not making that commitment at the time of writing to
allow for responding to user feedback about its output format, since YAML
is a very flexible format and its initial decisions may prove to be
sub-optimal when generating YAML intended for specific external consumers.
-->
This function maps
[Nomad language values](/nomad/docs/reference/hcl2/expressions#types-and-values)
to YAML tags in the following way:
| Nomad type | YAML type |
| ------------- | -------------------- |
| `string` | `!!str` |
| `number` | `!!float` or `!!int` |
| `bool` | `!!bool` |
| `list(...)` | `!!seq` |
| `set(...)` | `!!seq` |
| `tuple(...)` | `!!seq` |
| `map(...)` | `!!map` |
| `object(...)` | `!!map` |
| Null value | `!!null` |
`yamlencode` uses the implied syntaxes for all of the above types, so it does
not generate explicit YAML tags.
Because the YAML format cannot fully represent all of the Nomad language
types, passing the `yamlencode` result to `yamldecode` will not produce an
identical value, but the Nomad language automatic type conversion rules
mean that this is rarely a problem in practice.
## Examples
```shell-session
> yamlencode({"a":"b", "c":"d"})
"a": "b"
"c": "d"
> yamlencode({"foo":[1, 2, 3], "bar": "baz"})
"bar": "baz"
"foo":
- 1
- 2
- 3
> yamlencode({"foo":[1, {"a":"b","c":"d"}, 3], "bar": "baz"})
"bar": "baz"
"foo":
- 1
- "a": "b"
"c": "d"
- 3
```
`yamlencode` always uses YAML's "block style" for mappings and sequences, unless
the mapping or sequence is empty. To generate flow-style YAML, use
[`jsonencode`](/nomad/docs/reference/hcl2/functions/encoding/jsonencode) instead: YAML flow-style is a superset
of JSON syntax.
## Related Functions
- [`jsonencode`](/nomad/docs/reference/hcl2/functions/encoding/jsonencode) is a similar operation using JSON instead
of YAML.
- [`yamldecode`](/nomad/docs/reference/hcl2/functions/encoding/yamldecode) performs the opposite operation, _decoding_
a YAML string to obtain its represented value.
