# saphyr

[saphyr](https://github.com/saphyr-rs/saphyr) is a fully compliant YAML 1.2
library written in pure Rust.

This work is based on [`yaml-rust`](https://github.com/chyh1990/yaml-rust) with
fixes towards being compliant to the [YAML test
suite](https://github.com/yaml/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:

```toml
[dependencies]
saphyr = "0.0.1"
```
or use `cargo add` to get the latest version automatically:
```sh
cargo add saphyr
```

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

```rust
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`](https://github.com/saphyr-rs/saphyr-parser)) tests against
(and passes) the [YAML test suite](https://github.com/yaml/yaml-test-suite/).
