YAML (rhymes with camel) is a human-readable data serialization language.

It is commonly used for configuration files, but could be used in many applications where data is being stored (e.g. debugging output) or transmitted (e.g. document headers).

YAML targets many of the same communications applications as XML, but has taken a more minimal approach which intentionally breaks compatibility with SGML.

YAML 1.2 is a superset of JSON, another minimalist data serialization format where braces and brackets are used instead of indentation.

In computing, geolocation software is software that is capable of deducing the geolocation of a person or object and perhaps their actual location.

Sometimes, the geolocation of an object is used to impute the location of its owner or user.

For example, on the Internet, the identification of a device's IP address can be used to determine the country and even the city and post/ZIP code, organization, or user the IP address has been assigned to, and then to determine an object's actual location.

Other methods include examination of a MAC address, image metadata, or credit card information.

An IP address (abbreviation of Internet Protocol address) is an identifier assigned to each computer and other device (e.g., printer, router, mobile device, etc) connected to a TCP/IP network that is used to locate and identify the node in communications with other nodes on the network.

IP addresses are usually written and displayed in human-readable notations, such as 172.16.254.1 in IPv4, and 2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:8:1 in IPv6.

In computing, JSON (canonically pronounced; sometimes JavaScript Object Notation) is an open-standard format that uses human-readable text to transmit data objects consisting of attribute–value pairs.

It is the most common data format used for asynchronous browser/server communication, largely replacing XML, and is used by AJAX.

In computing, Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.

The W3C's XML 1.0 Specification and several other related specifications—all of them free open standards—define XML.
