   I'm working on a customized economy plugin that requires the use of several configuration files. I've never used more than simply config.yml. I've been using the wiki mostly, which usually shows use of the FileConfiguration object, but I've noticed in the forums that many developers choose to use YamlConfiguration.
   
   I was wondering, what's the difference? Is there one I should use over the other?
   
   Thanks,
   Jelly

   YamlConfig' extends FileConfig', so when we use YamlConfig' we get all of its methods along with FileConfig's methods.
   
   YamlConfig' also allows us to save headers and is not synchronized. This means that large configs will not halt the server when it has to be saved or loaded.
