What is it?
The goyaml package enables Go programs to very comfortably encode and decode YAML values.
It was developed within Canonical as part of an experiment related to using the Go language with the Ensemble project.
goyaml internally uses the C libyaml library to parse and generate YAML data fast and reliably. It ships with all the necessary files, though, and has no external dependencies besides Go itself.
Compatibility
goyaml is almost compatible with YAML 1.1, including support for anchors, tags, etc. There are still a few missing bits, such as document merging, base-60 floats (WTF), and multi-document unmarshalling. These features are not hard to add, and will be introduced as necessary.
API documentation
The API documentation is currently available at:
Example
Here is a simple example which connects to ZooKeeper, waits for the session to be established, and attempts to create a node:
package main import ( "launchpad.net/goyaml" "fmt" ) var data = ` a: Easy! b: c: 2 d: [3, 4] ` type T struct { A string B struct{C int; D []int ",flow"} } func main() { t := T{} err := goyaml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &t) if err != nil { panic(err) } fmt.Printf("--- t:\n%v\n\n", t) d, err := goyaml.Marshal(&t) if err != nil { panic(err) } fmt.Printf("--- t dump:\n%s\n\n", string(d)) m := make(map[interface{}]interface{}) err = goyaml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &m) if err != nil { panic(err) } fmt.Printf("--- m:\n%v\n\n", m) d, err = goyaml.Marshal(&m) if err != nil { panic(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
Source code
To obtain the source code, use Bazaar to download it from Launchpad:
