Introduction

• Spec | YAML Ain’t Markup Language (YAML™) revision 1.2.2

  There are many kinds of data structures, but they can all be adequately represented with three basic primitives: mappings (hashes/dictionaries), sequences (arrays/lists) and scalars (strings/numbers). YAML leverages these primitives and adds a simple typing system and aliasing mechanism to form a complete language for serializing any native data structure.

  YAML was specifically created to work well for common use cases such as: configuration files, log files, interprocess messaging, cross-language data sharing, object persistence and debugging of complex data structures. When data is easy to view and understand, programming becomes a simpler task.
