Why not use JSON instead of YAML? They both have data serialization as a goal, and JSON is much more easier and closer to the concept of "human readable computer code". Although YAML is much more complex (has data types and some advanced features from what I've seen on the Wikipedia page) if I'd need data serialization, I'd go for JSON.
