YAML Configuration

YAML provides a format for storing data in text files.

The YAML Configuration module:

• provides a mechanism for accessing YAML-defined data arrays. This lets developers move data definitions out of code and can make it easier to re-use code. It also allows modification of Drupal through editing YAML files instead of by modifying the underlying PHP code.
• allows sets of related data to be stored together and then provides mapping capabilities to extract any particular data for particular use.
• provides fundamental mechanisms for defining  Drupal Fields, Entities, Instances, and Bundles.
• provides fundamental mechanisms for defining database queries and displays, and formatting and laying out results using the Drupal rendering engine.
