What is a YAML file?

The YAML (YAML Ain’t Markup Language) extension is primarily useful for data serialization. It belongs to developer file type and helps the users in reading and writing independent data belonging to a specific programming language. These are not language-specific and can contain configuration information to manage the settings of any application.
Being not bound to any language allows it to be included and referenced in programs spanning across the board such as C++, Python, C#, PHP, and others. Occasionally, these files also get the YML extension.
