1024 Limit - yaml/YAML2 GitHub Wiki

The 1024 limit is fine for most cases. But information world grows and information pieces are not so small now. And if you want to keep HTML-page content or JS-file content (or may be CSV-file) in YAML, then this 1024 limit can surprise you. This also applies to base64-encoded binaries (images, for example).

The limit should be 1024 by default, but configurable with parser. Up to any above 1024.

But, keep in mind, if you YAML for humans, then the 1024 limit is fine. If you have a long text, just divide it. Any piece of data above the 1024 limit can be useful only for YAML for machines. It can be inspected by human (if something went wrong, for example), but it should not be intended for humans in its pure form.
