<h1 class="title">D:YAML 0.1</h1>
<div class="section" id="introduction">
<h1>Introduction</h1>
<p>D:YAML is an open source YAML parser library for the D programming language.
It is (<a class="reference external" href="./doc/html/articles/spec_differences.html">almost</a>) compliant to the
YAML 1.1 specification. Much of D:YAML code is based on
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.pyyaml.org">PyYAML</a> created by Kirill Simonov. D:YAML has no
external dependencies, all it needs is a D compiler and Phobos (standard
library). It is written in D2 and there are no plans for D1 or Tango support.</p>
<p>At the moment, D:YAML can only read, not write YAML files. This will change in
the following releases. D:YAML is designed to be as easy to use as possible while
supporting the full feature set of YAML. To start using it in your project,
you can see the <a class="reference external" href="./doc/html/tutorials/getting_started.html">Getting Started</a>
tutorial.</p>
<p>D:YAML is still a work in progress. Its API is still not stable and there might
be compatibility breaking changes. For instance, currently some D:YAML API
functions depend on the <tt class="docutils literal">std.stream</tt> module in Phobos. This module is expected
to be rewritten in future and D:YAML will change accordingly.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="features">
<h1>Features</h1>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Easy to use, high-level API and detailed debugging messages.</li>
<li>Detailed API documentation and tutorials.</li>
<li>No external dependencies.</li>
<li>Supports all YAML 1.1 constructs. All examples from the YAML 1.1 specification
are parsed correctly.</li>
<li>Read from YAML files as well as from memory or user defined streams.</li>
<li>UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings are supported, both big and little endian
(plain ASCII also works as it is a subset of UTF-8).</li>
<li>Support for both block (Python-like, based on indentation) and flow
(JSON-like, based on bracing) constructs.</li>
<li>Support for YAML anchors and aliases.</li>
<li>Support for default values in mappings.</li>
<li>Support for custom tags (data types), and implicit tag resolution for custom
tags.</li>
<li>All tags (data types) described at <a class="reference external" href="http://yaml.org/type/">http://yaml.org/type/</a> are supported, with
the exception of <tt class="docutils literal">tag:yaml.org,2002:yaml</tt>, which is used to represent YAML
code in YAML.</li>
<li>Cannot write YAML at the moment. This will change in the future.</li>
<li>There is no support for recursive data structures (supported by some YAML
parsers). There are no plans to implement this at the moment.</li>
</ul>
