Data serialization for IDL is just being able to store IDL variables so
that they can be restored later in exactly the same state, like IDL .sav
files.

YAML is a human-readable, cross-language specification for the files,
i.e., store scalars this way, structures this way, etc. YAML is
implemented in many languages.
