 Description: Methods to convert R data to YAML and back
- This package implements the libyaml YAML 1.1 parser and emitter for R.
+ This package implements the LibYAML YAML 1.1 parser and emitter for R.  YAML is a
+ human-readable markup language. With it, you can create easily readable documents
+ that can be consumed by a variety of programming languages, including R.  The
+ r-cran-yaml package has two main functions: yaml.load and as.yaml.  The yaml.load
+ function is the YAML parsing function: it accepts a YAML document as a string and
+ returns R data structures.  The as.yaml function is an S3 method used to convert R
+ objects into YAML strings.
+ .
+ This package is useful for R programmers dealing with YAML documents.
