In this article we are going to see how to read YMAL file in Pentaho.The Pentaho is a popular open-source platform for extracting, transforming and loading (ETL) data. One common data format used in various applications is YAML. The YAML is human readable language and it is simple.
What is YML?
YAML is a human-readable data serialization format that aims to be easy to understand and work with.
Here are the steps to read YAML

Double click on the second component and check the “Source is defined in a field?” option. Add the product field in “get source from field” and Go to fields tab and add key values as per as shown in the below screenshots.
STEP 5:
Run the job and check the preview data in PDI workspace.We will see 2 rows as the person took two products as per the YAML input file.(Each product in each row)
Conclusion:
Reading YAML files in Pentaho is a straightforward process using the YAML Input File component. By following the above steps we can read YAML data, we can efficiently extract YAML data and integrate it into your ETL processes.
