A File Format for YANG Instance Data
Overview
RFC 9195, “A File Format for YANG Instance Data”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2022 by B. Lengyel, B. Claise. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
There is a need to document data defined in YANG models at design time, implementation time, or when a live server is unavailable. This document specifies a standard file format for YANG instance data, which follows the syntax and semantics of existing YANG models and annotates it with metadata.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
