YAML Specification

The YAML Data Language Specification

Overview

YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a versioned language for data. The current versions of the language are 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2.

This repository is where the YAML language is further developed and the next versions are defined.

This repository contains the source code and build system for the published YAML 1.2 specification. Those files are under the 1.2 top level directory.

The various components of the next YAML specification version will be added here incrementally following a well defined methodology.
