258Each UCL object can be serialized to one of the three supported formats:
259
260* `JSON` - canonic json notation (with spaces indented structure);
261* `Compacted JSON` - compact json notation (without spaces or newlines);
262* `Configuration` - nginx like notation;
263* `YAML` - yaml inlined notation.

270parsing and emitting and compared it with UCL. Here are results:
