RFC 7950: The YANG 1.1 Data Modeling Language

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 8342, RFC 8526. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

YANG is a data modeling language used to model configuration data, state data, Remote Procedure Calls, and notifications for network management protocols. This document describes the syntax and semantics of version 1.1 of the YANG language. YANG version 1.1 is a maintenance release of the YANG language, addressing ambiguities and defects in the original specification. There are a small number of backward incompatibilities from YANG version 1. This document also specifies the YANG mappings to the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF).
