? what
JJB creates Jenkins XML configuration file from a YAML/JSON definition file and just uploads it to Jenkins.

? why
You can keep your job descriptions in human readable text format in a version control system to make changes and auditing easier. It also has a flexible template system, so creating many similarly configured jobs is easy.
