+libyaml is C library for parsing and emitting YAML 1.1. The library is
+required by Ruby 1.9.2 and above.
+
+YAML is a human-readable data serialization format that takes concepts
+from programming languages such as C, Perl, and Python, and ideas from
+XML and the data format of electronic mail. YAML syntax was designed to
+be easily mapped to data types common to most high-level languages:
+list, associative array, and scalar.
