About The YAML Blog

YAML is everywhere, but the most interesting parts of it rarely fit into a reference manual.

The YAML Blog is a place for the rest of the story: why the language works the way it does, how it got here, what implementers and users are learning and where it might go next.

You can expect writing about:

  • YAML's design, specification and ongoing maintenance;
  • parsers, frameworks, schemas and interoperability;
  • YAML's history and the people who shaped it;
  • the wider ecosystem of tools and projects; and
  • new ideas for making YAML better.
