He has:

class NavigationItem {

    String link String label List<NavigationItem> navigationItems
}

and also;

I am using Jackson objectmapper to map the fields of yml with my mapper
class like this:

and;

here I am trying to loop over it to get the all label, links and also the
nested ones

private String yamlToHtml() throws FileNotFoundException {
        String filePath =
        "src/main/resources/static/navigation/topnav.yml";

and;

Navigation.groovy (?) in a couple places.

all apparently to build some html;

I am having a .yml file that has nested level navigation items that I am
going to use for building the navigation. here my .yml file content.

so that I'm not certain whether this cluelessness, trolling, or some 
highly developed workflow.
