Techniques in a data processor for translating an object-oriented data model to a YANG data model are described. In one embodiment, for example, a translator system is described for translating data representing an object-oriented data model construct to a data representing one or more YANG data model statements, the translator system comprises: an object-oriented data model construct identifier for identifying data representing an object-oriented data model construct; an object-oriented data model construct-to-YANG data model statement translator for translating the identified data to translated data representing one or more YANG data model statements; and a storing module for storing the translated data in one or more non-transitory computer-readable media.
