  Description     : A linter for YAML files

yamllint is a linter / validity checker for YAML files. It does not only check
for syntax validity, but for weirdnesses like key repetition and cosmetic
problems such as lines length, trailing spaces, indentation, etc.

It is used by developers and teams that need to check their YAML sources, as
well as continuous integration tools. A complete documentation is available at
http://yamllint.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

yamllint is already available natively for Fedora, CentOS, and for Ubuntu using
a PPA. To the best of my knowledge, there is no equivalent software for YAML
(although such linters already exist for Python, C, Javascript, etc.)
