The
"<<" merge key is used to indicate that all the keys of one or
more specified maps should be inserted into the current map
For
example, consider below employee instance of the organization ‘ABC labs’.
--- firstName: Krishna id: 1 lastName: MP organization: city: Bangalore organizationName: "ABC labs"
Suppose, you are writing a service that return all the employees in the organisation ‘ABC labs’, it looks like below.
--- - firstName: Krishna id: 1 lastName: MP organization: city: Bangalore organizationName: "ABC labs" - firstName: Chamu id: 2 lastName: Kb organization: city: Bangalore organizationName: "ABC labs"
YAML
provides << (merge key) that is used to reuse the block of information.
For
example,
employee.yaml
--- - id: 1 firstName: "Krishna" lastName: "MP" organization: &ABCOrg organizationName: "ABC labs" city: "Bangalore" - id: 2 firstName: "Chamu" lastName: "Kb" <<: *ABCOrg
As
you see above example, I created a reference ‘&ABCOrg’ and reused this
reference in all the places.

I click on ‘Go’ button, it is changed like below.
