A quick and dirty YAML parser in Go, with no external dependencies.
This library is not intended to embrace all features of YAML, just a large enough subset to be used for JSON <-> YAML conversions.
go get github.com/boynton/yaml
In your program, the decoded data looks like generic json data, objects are
map[string]interface{}, arrays are []interface{}, and strings, numbers, and
bools map to the standard types.
import "github.com/boynton/yaml"
From a file:
yamlFilename := "test.yml"
data, err := yaml.DecodeFile(yamlFilename)
From a byte array:
yamlBytes, _ := ioutil.ReadFile(filename)
data, err := yaml.DecodeBytes(yamlBytes)
From a string:
yamlString, _ := "one:\n foo: This is a test\n bar: 23"
data, err := yaml.DecodeString(yamlString)
From a reader:
data, err := yaml.Decode(strings.NewReader(yamlString))
To encode:
yamlString, err := yaml.Encode(data)
