<p>Class used to load YAML documents.</p>

<dl><dt class="d_decl"><a name="Loader"></a>struct <a name="Loader"></a><span class="ddoc_psymbol">Loader</span>;
</dt>
<dd><p>Loads YAML documents from files or streams.
</p>
<p>User specified Constructor and/or Resolver can be used to support new
 tags / data types.

</p>
<b>Examples:</b><div class="pbr"> Load single YAML document from a file:
<pre class="d_code"><span class="d_keyword">auto</span> rootNode = <span class="d_psymbol">Loader</span>(<span class="d_string">"file.yaml"</span>).load();
...
</pre>
<br>

 Load all YAML documents from a file:
<pre class="d_code"><span class="d_keyword">auto</span> nodes = <span class="d_psymbol">Loader</span>(<span class="d_string">"file.yaml"</span>).loadAll();
...
</pre>
<br>

 Iterate over YAML documents in a file, lazily loading them:
<pre class="d_code"><span class="d_keyword">auto</span> loader = <span class="d_psymbol">Loader</span>(<span class="d_string">"file.yaml"</span>);

<span class="d_keyword">foreach</span>(<span class="d_keyword">ref</span> node; loader)
{
    ...
}
</pre>
<br>

 Load YAML from a string:
<pre class="d_code"><span class="d_keyword">char</span>[] yaml_input = <span class="d_string">"red:   '#ff0000'\n"</span>
                    <span class="d_string">"green: '#00ff00'\n"</span>
                    <span class="d_string">"blue:  '#0000ff'"</span>.dup;

<span class="d_keyword">auto</span> colors = <span class="d_psymbol">Loader</span>.fromString(yaml_input).load();

<span class="d_keyword">foreach</span>(string color, string value; colors)
{
    <span class="d_keyword">import</span> std.stdio;
    writeln(color, <span class="d_string">" is "</span>, value, <span class="d_string">" in HTML/CSS"</span>);
}
</pre>
<br>

 Load a file into a buffer in memory and then load YAML from that buffer:
<pre class="d_code"><span class="d_keyword">try</span>
{
    <span class="d_keyword">import</span> std.file;
    <span class="d_keyword">void</span>[] buffer = std.file.read(<span class="d_string">"file.yaml"</span>);
    <span class="d_keyword">auto</span> yamlNode = <span class="d_psymbol">Loader</span>(buffer);

    <span class="d_comment">// Read data from yamlNode here...
</span>}
<span class="d_keyword">catch</span>(FileException e)
{
    writeln(<span class="d_string">"Failed to read file 'file.yaml'"</span>);
}
</pre>
<br>

 Use a custom constructor/resolver to support custom data types and/or implicit tags:
<pre class="d_code"><span class="d_keyword">auto</span> constructor = <span class="d_keyword">new</span> Constructor();
<span class="d_keyword">auto</span> resolver    = <span class="d_keyword">new</span> Resolver();

<span class="d_comment">// Add constructor functions / resolver expressions here...
</span>
<span class="d_keyword">auto</span> loader = <span class="d_psymbol">Loader</span>(<span class="d_string">"file.yaml"</span>);
loader.constructor = constructor;
loader.resolver    = resolver;
<span class="d_keyword">auto</span> rootNode      = loader.load(node);
</pre>
</div>

<dl><dt class="d_decl"><a name="Loader.this"></a>@trusted this(string <b>filename</b>);
</dt>
<dd><p>Construct a Loader to load YAML from a file.
</p>
<b>Parameters:</b><div class="pbr"><table class=parms><tr><td valign=top>string <b>filename</b></td>
<td valign=top>Name of the file to load from.</td></tr>
</table></div>
<b>Throws:</b><div class="pbr">YAMLException if the file could not be opened or read.</div>

</dd>
<dt class="d_decl"><a name="Loader.fromString"></a>static @safe Loader <a name="fromString"></a><span class="ddoc_psymbol">fromString</span>(char[] <b>data</b>);
</dt>
<dd><p>Construct a Loader to load YAML from a string (char []).
</p>
<b>Parameters:</b><div class="pbr"><table class=parms><tr><td valign=top>char[] <b>data</b></td>
<td valign=top>String to load YAML from. <b>will</b> be overwritten during
                 parsing as D:YAML reuses memory. Use <b>data</b>.dup if you don't
                 want to modify the original string.</td></tr>
</table></div>
<b>Returns:</b><div class="pbr">Loader loading YAML from given string.

</div>
<b>Throws:</b><div class="pbr">YAMLException if <b>data</b> could not be read (e.g. a decoding error)</div>
<b>Examples:</b><div class="pbr"><pre class="d_code">
<span class="d_keyword">assert</span>(Loader.<span class="d_psymbol">fromString</span>(<span class="d_keyword">cast</span>(<span class="d_keyword">char</span>[])<span class="d_string">"42"</span>).load().as!<span class="d_keyword">int</span> == 42);
</pre>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="d_decl"><a name="Loader.this"></a>@safe this(void[] <b>yamlData</b>);
</dt>
<dd><p>Construct a Loader to load YAML from a buffer.
</p>
<b>Parameters:</b><div class="pbr"><table class=parms><tr><td valign=top>void[] <b>yamlData</b></td>
<td valign=top>Buffer with YAML data to load. This may be e.g. a file
                    loaded to memory or a string with YAML data. Note that
                    buffer <b>will</b> be overwritten, as D:YAML minimizes
                    memory allocations by reusing the input buffer.
<br>

<br>

 Note that D:YAML looks for byte-order-marks YAML files encoded in
 UTF-16/UTF-32 (and sometimes UTF-8) use to specify the encoding and
 endianness, so it should be enough to load an entire file to a buffer and
 pass it to D:YAML, regardless of Unicode encoding.</td></tr>

<b>Throws:</b><div class="pbr">YAMLException if <b>yamlData</b> contains data illegal in YAML.</div>

<dd><p>Load single YAML document.
</p>
<p>If none or more than one YAML document is found, this throws a YAMLException.
<br>

 This can only be called once; this is enforced by contract.

</p>
<b>Returns:</b><div class="pbr">Root node of the document.

</dt>
<dd><p>Load all YAML documents.
</p>
<p>This is just a shortcut that iterates over all documents and returns them
 all at once. Calling <a name="loadAll"></a><span class="ddoc_psymbol">loadAll</span> after iterating over the node or vice versa
 will not return any documents, as they have all been parsed already.
<br>

 This can only be called once; this is enforced by contract.

</p>
<b>Returns:</b><div class="pbr">Array of root nodes of all documents in the file/stream.

</dt>
<dd><p>Foreach over YAML documents.
</p>
<p>Parses documents lazily, when they are needed.
<br>

 Foreach over a Loader can only be used once; this is enforced by contract.
