                              YANG Library

Abstract

   This document describes a YANG library that provides information
   about the YANG modules, datastores, and datastore schemas used by a
   network management server.  Simple caching mechanisms are provided to
   allow clients to minimize retrieval of this information.  This
   version of the YANG library supports the Network Management Datastore
   Architecture (NMDA) by listing all datastores supported by a network
   management server and the schema that is used by each of these
   datastores.

   This document obsoletes RFC 7895.

RFC 8525                      YANG Library                    March 2019

1.  Introduction

   There is a need for a standard mechanism to expose which YANG modules
   [RFC7950], datastores [RFC8342], and datastore schemas [RFC8342] are
   in use by a network management server.

   This document defines the YANG module "ietf-yang-library" that
   provides this information.  This version of the YANG library is
   compatible with the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA)
   [RFC8342].  The previous version of the YANG library, defined in
   [RFC7895], is not compatible with the NMDA since it assumes that all
   datastores have exactly the same schema.  This is not necessarily
   true in the NMDA since dynamic configuration datastores may have
   their own datastore schema.  Furthermore, the operational state
   datastore may support non-configurable YANG modules in addition to
   the YANG modules supported by conventional configuration datastores.

   The old YANG library definitions have been retained (for backwards-
