        <SPAN class="trademark">YAML</SPAN>™ (rhymes with “<SPAN class="quote">camel</SPAN>”) is a
        human-friendly, cross language, Unicode based data serialization
        language designed around the common native data types of agile
        programming languages. It is broadly useful for programming needs
        ranging from configuration files to Internet messaging to object
        persistence to data auditing. Together with the <A  href="http://www.unicode.org/" class="ulink">Unicode standard for characters</A>,
        this specification provides all the information necessary to understand
        YAML Version 1.2 and to create programs that process YAML information.
