yaml-thom

An experimental YAML loader/dumper implementation.

Primary objectives

• Precisely implement the YAML 1.2 spec.
• Run (and pass) the YAML test suite.
• Serve as a reference implementation illustrating all parts of YAML processing in detail.
• Allow total configuration of the loading process.
• Function as a test bed for work on the YAML spec and related projects.

Secondary objectives

• Serve as a stable and library for practical applications.
• Allow detailed configuration of dumping.
• Provide a means for preserving presentational information.
• Sanely handle YAML 1.1.

Non-objectives

• High performance.
• Native library integration.

If you're looking for a stable, practical, high-quality YAML implementation to use in your application, I recommend this one.
