+[YAML | http://www.yaml.org/] is supposed to be
a straightforwardly parsable [Serialisation] format designed to be very human-readable, easy to implement, and computationally powerful. It is
optimized for data [Serialisation], but was intended to be directly applicable for storing
configuration settings, log files, Internet messaging and filtering. It uses the host languages' native data structures, has a consistent information model, and enables stream-based processing. Implementations are available for many ProgrammingLanguage~
s, including [Java], JavaScript, [OCaml], [Perl], [PHP], [Python], [Ruby], and others more.
+
+In recent times, the format has gotten very complex, and has acquired features that are somewhat tied to [Perl]. [JSON] is gaining in favour over it
.
