I mean yaml is multiline. It can contain objects within objects. I would 
have to write a large program using awk and others to parse it. So that 
makes the job more difficult. I need to know yaml syntax to write that.

In an sql table, i can get the table schema, and then just run an sql.

For yaml, is there a way to say "give me title and author where category 
= 'unix' etc in some format. Are there tools that can read up the 
structure of any yml file and allow us to query telling *what* we want 
without having to understand yaml format, and *how* to retrieve it.
