Data Format¶
The data file contained in ChatterBot Corpus is formatted using YAML syntax. This format is used because it is easily readable by both humans and machines.

|---|---|---|
| categories | Required | A list of categories that describe the conversations. |

- I am doing well.
- - Good day to you sir!
- Why thank you.
- - Hi, How is it going?
- It's going good, your self?
- Mighty fine, thank you.
The values in this example have the following relationships.
