Probably for the same reasons you might use XML, CSV, or JSON; data exchange and serialization between systems. YAML is just another standardized way to encapsulate data structures so that they can be passed between systems or statically archived consistently.
You could also not care at all if you have no data requirements on other systems that use YAML. Without more context, though, there isn't really a proper way to answer your question. -James On Aug 15, 2015 9:10 PM, "Joshua Ellis" <[email protected]> wrote: > What purpose does it have?
