# yaml

This section describes the thin wrapper api functions for processing YAML data. 

[functions](/docs/yaml/functions.md)

The thin api functions used for the maci library that enable YAML functionality, use and wrap the PyYAML framework installed as a dependency from pypi for its underlying functionality. 

**Loading note**: Uses the "safe\_load" and "safe\_load\_all" methods only to protect from untrusted input.

**Dumping note**: Uses the "safe\_dump" and "safe\_dump\_all" methods, which only support standard YAML tags and cannot represent an arbitrary Python object
