A recursive Acronym for YAML Ain't Markup Language.
YAML is a straightforwardly parsable Serialisation format designed to be very human-readable, easy to implement, and computationally powerful, and optimized for data Serialisation, 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 ProgrammingLanguages, including Java, JavaScript, OCaml, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and others more.
