It’s the same data, only you’re getting it in YAML format, while the article you referenced shows it in JSON format. The format you get is determined by which callback plugin is active. See [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/callback.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/callback.html) for details.
