It was developed within [Canonical](https://www.canonical.com) as +part of the [juju](https://juju.ubuntu.com) project, and is based on a +pure Go port of the well-known [libyaml](http://pyyaml.org/wiki/LibYAML) +C library to parse and generate YAML data quickly and reliably. + +Compatibility +------------- + +The yaml package supports most of YAML 1.1 and 1.2, including support for +anchors, tags, map merging, etc. Multi-document unmarshalling is not yet +implemented, and base-60 floats from YAML 1.1 are purposefully not +supported since they're a poor design and are gone in YAML 1.2. + +Installation and usage +---------------------- + +The import path for the package is *gopkg.in/yaml.v2*. + +To install it, run: + + go get gopkg.in/yaml.v2 + +API documentation +----------------- + +If opened in a browser, the import path itself leads to the API documentation: + + * [https://gopkg.in/yaml.v2](https://gopkg.in/yaml.v2) + +API stability +------------- + +The package API for yaml v2 will remain stable as described in [gopkg.in](https://gopkg.in). + + +License +------- + +The yaml package is licensed under the Apache License 2.0. Please see the LICENSE file for details. + + +Example +------- + +```Go +package main + +import ( + "fmt" + "log" + + "gopkg.in/yaml.v2" +) + +var data = ` +a: Easy! +b: + c: 2 + d: [3, 4] +` + +// Note: struct fields must be public in order for unmarshal to +// correctly populate the data. +type T struct { + A string + B struct { + RenamedC int `yaml:"c"` + D []int `yaml:",flow"` + } +} + +func main() { + t := T{} + + err := yaml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &t) + if err != nil { + log.Fatalf("error: %v", err) + } + fmt.Printf("--- t:\n%v\n\n", t) + + d, err := yaml.Marshal(&t) + if err != nil { + log.Fatalf("error: %v", err) + } + fmt.Printf("--- t dump:\n%s\n\n", string(d)) + + m := make(map[interface{}]interface{}) + + err = yaml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &m) + if err != nil { + log.Fatalf("error: %v", err) + } + fmt.Printf("--- m:\n%v\n\n", m) + + d, err = yaml.Marshal(&m) + if err != nil { + log.Fatalf("error: %v", err) + } + fmt.Printf("--- m dump:\n%s\n\n", string(d)) +} +``` + +This example will generate the following output: + +``` +--- t: +{Easy! {2 [3 4]}} + +--- t dump: +a: Easy! +b: + c: 2 + d: [3, 4] + + +--- m: +map[a:Easy! b:map[c:2 d:[3 4]]] + +--- m dump: +a: Easy! +b: + c: 2 + d: + - 3 + - 4 +``` + |
