YANG (RFC 7950) is a data modeling language for NETCONF (RFC 6241), developed by the IETF NETMOD WG.
pyang is a YANG validator, transformator and code generator, written in python. It can be used to validate YANG modules for correctness, to transform YANG modules into other formats, and to generate code from the modules.
Pyang can be installed from PyPI:
# pip install pyang
pyang is compatible with the following IETF RFCs:
- Validate YANG modules.
- Convert YANG modules to YIN, and YIN to YANG.
- Translate YANG data models to DSDL schemas, which can be used for validating various XML instance documents. See InstanceValidation.
- Translate YANG data models to XSD.
- Generate UML diagrams from YANG models. See UMLOutput for an example.
- Generate compact tree representation of YANG models for quick visualization. See TreeOutput for an example.
- Generate a skeleton XML instance document from the data model.
- Schema-aware translation of instance documents encoded in XML to JSON and vice-versa. See XmlJson.
- Plugin framework for simple development of other outputs, such as code generation.
See Documentation.

-
By default, pyang now scans the YANG module path recursively, i.e., it searches for YANG modules also in subdirectories to the directories in the load path. This behavior can be disabled with '--no-path-recurse'.
