Korml Language Specification

Korml is a small markup language for structured configuration-like documents. This site documents the language itself, not a particular implementation API.

The specification is organized by language version.

Version	Source shape	YAML relationship	Intended use
v0	one implicit document, no version directive, no document stream	YAML-compatible single-document subset	simple single-file configuration
v1	version directive plus one or more explicit documents	Korml stream; document bodies use the v0 body grammar	versioned streams and multi-document sources

The important compatibility point is version-specific: v0 is the YAML-compatible form. v0 corresponds to the JSON-shaped single-document subset of YAML.

v1 reuses the same document-body grammar, but a complete v1 source is not intended to be a plain YAML document because it has a Korml version directive and explicit stream boundaries.
