# Slot: provenance_format 


_Serialization of the ``prov/`` records: ``yaml`` (the default, and the form every other tvbo record takes) or ``json`` (what BEP028 currently names). One file per record in one format, never both — two serializations of one record are two things that can disagree. Declared in the spec rather than configured per machine, because two people running one recipe must get the same provenance._
