I have a set of nested yaml lists with something like the following:

title: the example
image: link.jpg
products:
 - top-level: Product One
   arbitrary: Value
   nested-products:
    - nested: Associated Product
      sub-arbitrary: Associated Value
 - top-level: Product Two
   arbitrary: Value
 - top-level: Product Three
   arbitrary: Value

I can loop through the products with no problem using for item in page.products and I can use a logic operator to determine if nested products exist - what I CAN'T do is loop through multiple nested-products per iteration of top-level

I have tried using for subitem in item and other options - but I can't get it to work - any ideas?

How is it that json serialization is so much faster than yaml serialization in python?

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I have code that relies heavily on yaml for cross-language serialization and while working on speeding some stuff up I noticed that yaml was insanely slow compared to other serialization methods (e.g., pickle, json). So what really blows my mind is that json is so much faster that yaml when the output… >>> More
