jYang : A YANG parser in java

TL;DR

This paper presents the design and implementation of a Java-based parser for the YANG language, which is used for defining data models in network configuration protocols like NETCONF.

Contribution

It introduces a syntax and semantics parser for YANG implemented in Java, facilitating easier integration and processing of YANG models.

Findings

Successfully developed a YANG parser in Java

Enables automated processing of YANG data models

Supports NETCONF configuration management

Abstract

The NETCONF configuration protocol of the IETF Network Work- ing Group provides mechanisms to manipulate the configuration of network devices. YANG is the language currently under consideration within the IETF to specify the data models to be used in NETCONF . This report describes the design and development of a syntax and semantics parser for YANG in java.
