About

The Open Graph protocol is a web metadata standard that defines how webpages are described as structured objects for use in social graphs and enables their consistent representation.

It specifies a set of HTML meta properties that start with "og:" (such as og:title, og:type, og:image, and og:description) to add semantic meaning to a page's content and control how that content should be represented.

YAML ("YAML Ain't Markup Language") is a human-readable data serialization language designed for representing structured data and exchanging it between systems and programming languages.

It uses indentation-based syntax with minimal structural characters, represents data using three core primitives such as mappings, sequences, and scalars, and includes features such as anchors and aliases for referencing data, along with a simple typing system for numbers, strings, and booleans.
