Summary
Renderers are used to convert various file formats into a data structure that is usable internally by Salt. Data-serialization renderers return data in a dictionary format, whereas templating renderers return data that can be processed by a data serializer. Both types of renderer look the same, and require a render() function.
Now that we know how to handle the data going into Salt, it's time to look at the data coming back out of Salt. Next up: handling return data.
