Answers: <p>YAML is a very simple, text/human-readable annotation format that can be used to store data.
  YAML keeps data stored as a map containing keys and values associated to those keys. This map is in no particular order, so you can reorder it at will. Each pair is in the format KEY: VALUE
  When the value is a text string enclose the value with quotes. Some examples below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>KEY1: 'HELLO'
  HOST_NUMBER: 1
  </code></pre>

Comments: It would really help if you could give an example to clarify the question. Can you point to a file with mapping and the relevant documentation that you read?
