Symfony's configuration files. See the :doc:`/components/yaml/introduction`
chapter.

Annotation
Annotations are metadata written alongside your code. They can either be explanatory and will be
ignored during execution or add functionality to the line of code directly below as a means of
configuration. For example, the annotation ``@var`` describes the type of a variable, whereas in
Symfony2 ``@Assert`` can add validation to a member variable of a class (see :doc:`/book/validation` chapter).
