YAML is a human-readable markup language. With it, you can create easily readable documents that can be consumed by a variety of programming languages, including R. The r-cran-yaml package has two main functions: yaml.load and as.yaml. The yaml.load function is the YAML parsing function: it accepts a YAML document as a string and returns R data structures. The as.yaml function is an S3 method used to convert R objects into YAML strings. . This package is useful for R programmers dealing with YAML documents.
