YAML supports inline comments, but does not support block comments.
From Wikipedia:
Comments begin with the number sign (
#), can start anywhere on a line, and continue until the end of the line
A comparison with JSON, also from Wikipedia:
The syntax differences are subtle and seldom arise in practice: JSON allows extended charactersets like UTF-32, YAML requires a space after separators like comma, equals, and colon while JSON does not, and some non-standard implementations of JSON extend the grammar to include Javascript’s
/* ... */comments. Handling such edge cases may require light pre-processing of the JSON before parsing as in-line YAML.
# If you want to write # a block-commented Haiku # you'll need three pound signs
