saphyr

saphyr is a fully compliant YAML 1.2 library written in pure Rust.

This work is based on yaml-rust with fixes towards being compliant to the YAML test suite. yaml-rust's parser is heavily influenced by libyaml and yaml-cpp.

saphyr is a pure Rust YAML 1.2 implementation that benefits from the memory safety and other benefits from the Rust language.

Quick Start

Installing

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
saphyr = "0.0.1"

or use cargo add to get the latest version automatically:

cargo add saphyr

Example

Use saphyr::YamlLoader to load YAML documents and access them as Yaml objects:

use saphyr::{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 saphyr::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

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. The parser behind this library (saphyr-parser) tests against (and passes) the YAML test suite.
