<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-1" href="#section-1">1</a>.  Introduction</span>

   YANG tree diagrams were first published in <a href="./rfc6536">RFC 6536</a>.  Such diagrams
   are used to provide a simplified graphical representation of a data
   model and can be automatically generated via tools such as "pyang"
   [<a href="#ref-PYANG" title="&quot;pyang&quot;">PYANG</a>].  This document describes the syntax used in YANG tree
   diagrams.  It is expected that this document will be updated or
   replaced as changes to the YANG language [<a href="./rfc7950" title="&quot;The YANG 1.1 Data Modeling Language&quot;">RFC7950</a>] necessitate.

   Today's common practice is to include the definition of the syntax
   used to represent a YANG module in every document that provides a
   tree diagram.  This practice has several disadvantages; therefore,
   the purpose of this document is to provide a single location for this
   definition.  It is not the intent of this document to restrict future
   changes, but rather to ensure that such changes are easily identified
   and suitably agreed upon.

   An example tree diagram can be found in <a href="./rfc8343#section-3">Section&nbsp;3 of [RFC8343]</a>; the
   following is a portion of it:

     +--rw interfaces
        +--rw interface* [name]
           +--rw name                        string
           +--rw description?                string
           +--rw type                        identityref
           +--rw enabled?                    boolean
           +--rw link-up-down-trap-enable?   enumeration {if-mib}?

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-2" href="#section-2">2</a>.  Tree Diagram Syntax</span>

   This section describes the meaning of the symbols used in YANG tree
   diagrams.

   A full tree diagram of a module represents all elements.  It includes
   the name of the module and sections for top-level module statements
   (typically containers), augmentations, rpcs, and notifications all
   identified under a module statement.  Module trees may be included in
   a document as a whole, by one or more sections, or even by subsets of
   nodes.

   A module is identified by "module:" followed by the module-name.
   This is followed by one or more sections, in order:

   1.  The top-level data nodes defined in the module, offset by
       two spaces.

   2.  Augmentations, offset by two spaces and identified by the keyword
       "augment" followed by the augment target node and a colon (":")
       character.

   3.  RPCs, offset by two spaces and identified by "rpcs:".

   4.  Notifications, offset by two spaces and identified by
       "notifications:".

   5.  Groupings, offset by two spaces and identified by the keyword
       "grouping" followed by the name of the grouping and a colon (":")
       character.

   6.  yang-data, offset by two spaces and identified by the keyword
       "yang-data" followed by the name of the yang-data structure and a
       colon (":") character.

   The relative organization of each section is provided using a
   text-based format that is typical of a file system directory tree
   display command.  Each node in the tree is prefaced with "+--".
   Schema nodes that are children of another node are offset from the
   parent by three spaces.  Sibling schema nodes are listed with the
   same space offset and, when separated by lines, are linked via a
   vertical bar ("|") character.

   The full format, including spacing conventions, is:

     module: &lt;module-name&gt;
       +--&lt;node&gt;
       |  +--&lt;node&gt;
       |     +--&lt;node&gt;
       +--&lt;node&gt;
          +--&lt;node&gt;
             +--&lt;node&gt;

       augment &lt;target-node&gt;:
         +--&lt;node&gt;
            +--&lt;node&gt;
            +--&lt;node&gt;
               +--&lt;node&gt;
       augment &lt;target-node&gt;:
         +--&lt;node&gt;

       rpcs:
         +--&lt;rpc-node&gt;
         +--&lt;rpc-node&gt;
            +--&lt;node&gt;
            |  +--&lt;node&gt;
            +--&lt;node&gt;

       notifications:
         +--&lt;notification-node&gt;
         +--&lt;notification-node&gt;

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc8340">RFC 8340</a>                   YANG Tree Diagrams                 March 2018</span>


<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-2.1" href="#section-2.1">2.1</a>.  Submodules</span>

   Submodules are represented in the same fashion as modules but are
   identified by "submodule:" followed by the (sub)module-name.  For
   example:

     submodule: &lt;module-name&gt;
       +--&lt;node&gt;
       |  +--&lt;node&gt;
       |     +--&lt;node&gt;

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-2.2" href="#section-2.2">2.2</a>.  Groupings</span>

   Nodes within a used grouping are normally expanded as if the nodes
   were defined at the location of the "uses" statement.  However, it is
   also possible to not expand the "uses" statement but to instead print
   the name of the grouping.

   For example, the following diagram shows the "tls-transport" grouping
   from [<a href="./rfc7407" title="&quot;A YANG Data Model for SNMP Configuration&quot;">RFC7407</a>] unexpanded:

       +--rw tls
          +---u tls-transport

   If the grouping is expanded, it could be printed as:

       +--rw tls
          +--rw port?                 inet:port-number
          +--rw client-fingerprint?   x509c2n:tls-fingerprint
          +--rw server-fingerprint?   x509c2n:tls-fingerprint
          +--rw server-identity?      snmp:admin-string

   Groupings may optionally be present in the "groupings" section.

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-2.3" href="#section-2.3">2.3</a>.  yang-data</span>

   If the module defines a "yang-data" structure [<a href="./rfc8040" title="&quot;RESTCONF Protocol&quot;">RFC8040</a>], these
   structures may optionally be present in the "yang-data" section.

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc8340">RFC 8340</a>                   YANG Tree Diagrams                 March 2018</span>


<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-2.4" href="#section-2.4">2.4</a>.  Collapsed Node Representation</span>

   At times when the composition of the nodes within a module schema is
   not important in the context of the presented tree, sibling nodes and
   their children can be collapsed using the notation "..." in place of
   the text lines used to represent the summarized nodes.  For example:

       +--&lt;node&gt;
       |  ...
       +--&lt;node&gt;
          +--&lt;node&gt;
             +--&lt;node&gt;

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-2.5" href="#section-2.5">2.5</a>.  Comments</span>

   Single line comments, starting with "//" (possibly indented) and
   ending at the end of the line, may be used in the tree notation.

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-2.6" href="#section-2.6">2.6</a>.  Node Representation</span>

   Each node in a YANG module is printed as:

     &lt;status&gt;--&lt;flags&gt; &lt;name&gt;&lt;opts&gt; &lt;type&gt; &lt;if-features&gt;

       &lt;status&gt; is one of:
         +  for current
         x  for deprecated
         o  for obsolete

       &lt;flags&gt; is one of:
         rw  for configuration data nodes and choice nodes
         ro  for non-configuration data nodes and choice nodes,
             output parameters to rpcs and actions, and
             notification parameters
         -w  for input parameters to rpcs and actions
         -u  for uses of a grouping
         -x  for rpcs and actions
         -n  for notifications
         mp  for nodes containing a "mount-point" extension statement

         Case nodes do not have any &lt;flags&gt;.










<span class="grey">Bjorklund &amp; Berger        Best Current Practice                 [Page 6]</span></pre>

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc8340">RFC 8340</a>                   YANG Tree Diagrams                 March 2018</span>


       &lt;name&gt; is the name of the node
         (&lt;name&gt;) means that the node is a choice node
        :(&lt;name&gt;) means that the node is a case node

         If the node is augmented into the tree from another module,
         its name is printed as &lt;prefix&gt;:&lt;name&gt;, where &lt;prefix&gt; is the
         prefix defined in the module where the node is defined.

         If the node is a case node, there is no space before the
         &lt;name&gt;.

       &lt;opts&gt; is one of:
         ?  for an optional leaf, choice, anydata, or anyxml
         !  for a presence container
         *  for a leaf-list or list
         [&lt;keys&gt;] for a list's keys
         /  for a top-level data node in a mounted module
         @  for a top-level data node of a module identified in a
            mount point parent reference

       &lt;type&gt; is the name of the type for leafs and leaf-lists

         If the type is a leafref, the type is printed as either
         (1) "-&gt; TARGET", where TARGET is the leafref path,
         with prefixes removed if possible or (2) "leafref".

       &lt;if-features&gt; is the list of features this node depends on,
         printed within curly brackets and a question mark "{...}?"

   Arbitrary whitespace is allowed between any of the whitespace-
   separated fields (e.g., &lt;opts&gt; and &lt;type&gt;).  Additional whitespace
   may, for example, be used to "column align" fields (e.g., within a
   list or container) to improve readability.

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-3" href="#section-3">3</a>.  Usage Guidelines for RFCs</span>

   This section provides general guidelines related to the use of tree
   diagrams in RFCs.

<hr class='noprint'/><!--NewPage--><pre class='newpage'><span id="page-8" ></span>
<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc8340">RFC 8340</a>                   YANG Tree Diagrams                 March 2018</span>


<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-3.1" href="#section-3.1">3.1</a>.  Wrapping Long Lines</span>

   Internet-Drafts and RFCs limit the number of characters that may
   appear in a line of text to 72 characters.  When the tree
   representation of a node results in a line being longer than this
   limit, the line should be broken between &lt;opts&gt; and &lt;type&gt; or between
   &lt;type&gt; and &lt;if-feature&gt;.  The new line should be indented so that it
   starts below &lt;name&gt; with a whitespace offset of at least two
   characters.  For example:

     notifications:
       +---n yang-library-change
          +--ro module-set-id
                  -&gt; /modules-state/module-set-id

   Long paths (e.g., leafref paths or augment targets) can be split and
   printed on more than one line.  For example:

     augment /nat:nat/nat:instances/nat:instance/nat:mapping-table
               /nat:mapping-entry:

   The previously mentioned "pyang" command can be helpful in producing
   such output; for example, the notification diagram above was produced
   using:

     pyang -f tree --tree-line-length 50 ietf-yang-library.yang

   When a tree diagram is included as a figure in an Internet-Draft or
   RFC, "--tree-line-length 69" works well.

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-3.2" href="#section-3.2">3.2</a>.  Groupings</span>

   If the YANG module is comprised of groupings only, then the tree
   diagram should contain the groupings.  The "pyang" compiler can be
   used to produce a tree diagram with groupings using the
   "-f tree --tree-print-groupings" command-line parameters.

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-3.3" href="#section-3.3">3.3</a>.  Long Diagrams</span>

   Tree diagrams can be split into sections to correspond to document
   structure.  As tree diagrams are intended to provide a simplified
   view of a module, diagrams longer than a page should generally be
   avoided.  If the complete tree diagram for a module becomes too long,
   the diagram can be split into several smaller diagrams.  For example,
   it might be possible to have one diagram with the data node and
   another with all notifications.  If the data nodes tree is too long,
   it is also possible to split the diagram into smaller diagrams for

<span class="grey"><a href="./rfc8340">RFC 8340</a>                   YANG Tree Diagrams                 March 2018</span>


   different subtrees.  When long diagrams are included in a document,
   authors should consider whether to include the long diagram in the
   main body of the document or in an appendix.

   An example of such a split can be found in [<a href="./rfc7407" title="&quot;A YANG Data Model for SNMP Configuration&quot;">RFC7407</a>], where
   <a href="#section-2.4">Section 2.4</a> of that document shows the diagram for "engine
   configuration":

       +--rw snmp
          +--rw engine
             // more parameters from the "engine" subtree here

   Further, <a href="./rfc7407#section-2.5">Section&nbsp;2.5 of [RFC7407]</a> shows the diagram for "target
   configuration":

       +--rw snmp
          +--rw target* [name]
             // more parameters from the "target" subtree here

   The previously mentioned "pyang" command can be helpful in producing
   such output; for example, the above example was produced using:

     pyang -f tree --tree-path /snmp/target ietf-snmp.yang

<span class="h2"><a class="selflink" id="section-4" href="#section-4">4</a>.  YANG Schema Mount Tree Diagrams</span>

   "YANG schema mount" is defined in [<a href="#ref-SCHEMA-MOUNT">SCHEMA-MOUNT</a>] and warrants some
   specific discussion.  Schema mount is a generic mechanism that allows
   for the mounting of one or more YANG modules at a specified location
   of another (parent) schema.  The specific location is referred to as
   a "mount point", and any container or list node in a schema may serve
   as a mount point.  Mount points are identified via the inclusion of
   the "mount-point" extension statement as a substatement under a
   container or list node.  Mount point nodes are thus directly
   identified in a module schema definition and can be identified in a
   tree diagram as indicated above using the "mp" flag.

   In the following example taken from [<a href="#ref-YANG-NIs" title="&quot;YANG Model for Network Instances&quot;">YANG-NIs</a>], "vrf-root" is a

<span class="h3"><a class="selflink" id="section-4.1" href="#section-4.1">4.1</a>.  Representation of Mounted Schema Trees</span>

   The actual modules made available under a mount point are controlled
   by a server and are provided to clients.  This information is
   typically provided via the schema mount module
   ("ietf-yang-schema-mount") defined in [<a href="#ref-SCHEMA-MOUNT">SCHEMA-MOUNT</a>].  The schema
   mount module supports the exposure of both mounted schema and
   "parent-references".  Parent references are used for XML Path
   Language (XPath) evaluation within mounted modules and do not
   represent client-accessible paths; the referenced information is
   available to clients via the parent schema.  Schema mount also
   defines an "inline" type of mount point, where mounted modules are
   exposed via the YANG library module.

   Although the modules made available under a mount point are not
   specified in YANG modules that include mount points, the document
   defining the module will describe the intended use of the module and
   may identify both modules that will be mounted and parent modules
   that can be referenced by mounted modules.  An example of such a
   description can be found in [<a href="#ref-YANG-NIs" title="&quot;YANG Model for Network Instances&quot;">YANG-NIs</a>].  A specific implementation of
   a module containing mount points will also support a specific list of
   mounted and referenced modules.  In describing both intended use and
   actual implementations, it is helpful to show how mounted modules
   would be instantiated and referenced under a mount point using tree
   diagrams.

   In such diagrams, the mount point should be treated much like a
   container that uses a grouping.  The flags should also be set based
   on the "config" leaf mentioned above, and the mount-related options
   indicated above should be shown for the top-level nodes in a mounted
   or referenced module.  The following example, taken from [<a href="#ref-YANG-NIs" title="&quot;YANG Model for Network Instances&quot;">YANG-NIs</a>],

   represents the prior example with the YANG modules "ietf-routing"
   [<a href="#ref-YANG-Routing">YANG-Routing</a>] and "ietf-ospf" [<a href="#ref-OSPF-YANG">OSPF-YANG</a>] mounted, nodes from the
   YANG module "ietf-interfaces" [<a href="./rfc8343" title="&quot;A YANG Data Model for Interface Management&quot;">RFC8343</a>] accessible via a
   parent-reference, and "config" indicating "true":

     module: ietf-network-instance
       +--rw network-instances
          +--rw network-instance* [name]
             +--rw name           string
             +--rw enabled?       boolean
             +--rw description?   string
             +--rw (ni-type)?
             +--rw (root-type)
                +--:(vrf-root)
                   +--mp vrf-root
                      +--ro rt:routing-state/
                      |  +--ro router-id?
                      |  +--ro control-plane-protocols
                      |     +--ro control-plane-protocol* [type name]
                      |        +--ro ospf:ospf
                      |           +--ro instance* [af]
                      |           ...
                      +--rw rt:routing/
                      |  +--rw router-id?
                      |  +--rw control-plane-protocols
                      |     +--rw control-plane-protocol* [type name]
                      |     +--rw ospf:ospf
                      |        +--rw instance* [af]
                      |           ...
                      +--ro if:interfaces@
                      |  ...
                      +--ro if:interfaces-state@
                      |  ...

   It is worth highlighting that the "ietf-ospf" module augments the
   "ietf-routing" module, and although it is listed in the schema mount
   module (or inline YANG library), there is no special mount-related
   notation in the tree diagram.

   A mount point definition alone is not sufficient to identify whether
   the mounted modules are used for configuration data or for
   non-configuration data.  This is determined by the
   "ietf-yang-schema-mount" module's "config" leaf associated with the
   specific mount point and is indicated on the top-level mounted nodes.

   For example, in the above tree, when the "config" leaf for the
   "ietf-routing" module indicates "false", the nodes in the
   "rt:routing" subtree would have different flags:

                      +--ro rt:routing/
                      |  +--ro router-id?
                      |  +--ro control-plane-protocols
                         ...
