import * as mod from "https://deno.land/std@0.187.0/yaml/mod.ts";

parse and stringify for handling YAML encoded data.

Ported from js-yaml v3.13.1

If your YAML contains multiple documents in it, you can use parseAll for handling it.

To handle regexp, and undefined types, use EXTENDED_SCHEMA. You can also use custom types by extending schemas.

:warning: Limitations

  • binary type is currently not stable.

For further examples see https://github.com/nodeca/js-yaml/tree/master/examples.

Examples

Example 1

import {
  parse,
  stringify,
} from "https://deno.land/std@0.187.0/yaml/mod.ts";

const data = parse(`
foo: bar
baz:
  - qux
  - quux
`);
console.log(data);
// => { foo: "bar", baz: [ "qux", "quux" ] }

const yaml = stringify({ foo: "bar", baz: ["qux", "quux"] });
console.log(yaml);
// =>
// foo: bar
// baz:
//   - qux
//   - quux
