A serde-based YAML serializer for Rust with an unusual output style.
rust,ignore
cyrly::to_string(some_val)?
will prdouce something like
yaml
{
{ 42: 1336 }: "non-string keys",
"three different string styles": [
plain,
"single-line strings",
"\
multi-line strings are\n\
acceptably readable\n\
\n\
also, yaml 1.1/1.2 ambiguities are quoted:
",
"oFf",
],
look: "trailing comma",
}
I think this is better than X because Y:
* JSON
* Fewer "
* Trailing commas,
* Multiline
strings
* Support for non-string keys
* YAML (as produced by normal serializers)
* Not whitespace-indentation dependent
* JSON5 / Hjson
* Valid YAML, which is a much more common format, thus the output will be usable in many more places
Note that while the serializer attempts to be conservative where possible
(e.g. always quoting maybe-keywords like no or on)
and should always produce valid YAML,
it is still somewhat unusual and may trouble some YAML deserialization implementations.
