6. YANG Syntax
The YANG syntax is similar to that of SMIng [RFC3780] and programming languages like C and C++. This C-like syntax was chosen specifically for its readability, since YANG values the time and effort of the readers of models above those of modules writers and YANG tool-chain developers. This section introduces the YANG syntax.
The SMIv1 and the SMIv2 are bound to the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) [RFC3411], while the SPPI is bound to the Common Open Policy Service Provisioning (COPS-PR) Protocol [RFC3084]. Even though the languages have common rules, it is hard to use common data definitions with both protocols. It is the purpose of this document to define a common data definition language, named SMIng, that can formally specify data models independent of specific protocols and applications. The appendix of this document defines a core module that supplies common SMIng definitions.
