YAML (/ˈjæməl/, rhymes with camel[2]) was first proposed by Clark Evans in 2001,[10] who designed it together with Ingy döt Net[11] and Oren Ben-Kiki.[11] Originally YAML was said to mean Yet Another Markup Language,[12] referencing its purpose as a markup language with the yet another construct, but it was then repurposed as YAML Ain't Markup Language, a recursive acronym, to distinguish its purpose as data-oriented, rather than document markup.
