Complexity is a scale. YAML is certainly more complex than JSON, given it's a true superset of it. One generally should prefer the simplest format – as long as it provides the requirements we have here. The requirements we have in mind are fulfilled by both YAML and JSON (i.e. self-descriptiveness, extensibility, well understood, with established parsers and so on). But there's no requirement we have in mind that would be fulfilled by YAML but not by JSON as well. Hence JSON it is, and YAML is not.
