In this article, David introduces you to YAML, a data serialization format that can be easily read by humans and is well-suited to encoding the data types used in dynamic programming languages. In contrast to XML, YAML uses clean and very minimal structural indicators, relying largely on indentation of nested elements. More importantly, for many tasks the superior syntax of YAML is the far better semantic fit between YAML and "natural" data structures.
