# yaml-rust2
[yaml-rust2](https://github.com/Ethiraric/yaml-rust2) is a fully compliant YAML 1.2
implementation written in pure Rust.
This work is based on [`yaml-rust`](https://github.com/chyh1990/yaml-rust) with
fixes towards being compliant to the [YAML test
suite](https://github.com/yaml/yaml-test-suite/). `yaml-rust`'s parser is
heavily influenced by `libyaml` and `yaml-cpp`.
`yaml-rust2` is a pure Rust YAML 1.2 implementation that benefits from the
memory safety and other benefits from the Rust language.
## Quick Start
Add the following to the Cargo.toml of your project:
```toml
[dependencies]
yaml-rust2 = "0.8"
```
Use `yaml_rust2::YamlLoader` to load YAML documents and access them as `Yaml` objects:
```rust
use yaml_rust2::{YamlLoader, YamlEmitter};
fn main() {
let s =
"
foo:
- list1
- list2
bar:
- 1
- 2.0
";
let docs = YamlLoader::load_from_str(s).unwrap();
// Multi document support, doc is a yaml::Yaml
let doc = &docs[0];
// Debug support
println!("{:?}", doc);
// Index access for map & array
assert_eq!(doc["foo"][0].as_str().unwrap(), "list1");
assert_eq!(doc["bar"][1].as_f64().unwrap(), 2.0);
// Array/map-like accesses are checked and won't panic.
// They will return `BadValue` if the access is invalid.
assert!(doc["INVALID_KEY"][100].is_badvalue());
// Dump the YAML object
let mut out_str = String::new();
{
let mut emitter = YamlEmitter::new(&mut out_str);
emitter.dump(doc).unwrap(); // dump the YAML object to a String
}
println!("{}", out_str);
}
```
Note that `yaml_rust2::Yaml` implements `Index<&'a str>` and `Index<usize>`:
* `Index<usize>` assumes the container is an array
* `Index<&'a str>` assumes the container is a string to value map
* otherwise, `Yaml::BadValue` is returned
If your document does not conform to this convention (e.g. map with complex
type key), you can use the `Yaml::as_XXX` family API of functions to access
your objects.
## Features
* Pure Rust
* `Vec`/`HashMap` access API
* Low-level YAML events emission
## Security
This library does not try to interpret any type specifiers in a YAML document,
so there is no risk of, say, instantiating a socket with fields and
communicating with the outside world just by parsing a YAML document.
## Specification Compliance
This implementation is fully compatible with the YAML 1.2 specification. In
order to help with compliance, `yaml-rust2` tests against (and passes) the [YAML
test suite](https://github.com/yaml/yaml-test-suite/).
## Upgrading from yaml-rust
You can use `yaml-rust2` as a drop-in replacement for the original `yaml-rust` crate.
```toml
[dependencies]
yaml-rust = { version = "#.#", package = "yaml-rust2" }
```
This `Cargo.toml` declaration allows you to refer to this crate as `yaml_rust` in your code.
```rust
use yaml_rust::{YamlLoader, YamlEmitter};
```
