Serde YAML

This crate is a Rust library for using the Serde serialization framework with data in YAML file format. This library does not reimplement a YAML parser; it uses yaml-rust which is a pure Rust YAML 1.2 implementation.

Dependency

toml [dependencies] serde = "0.9" serde_yaml = "0.6"

Release notes are available under GitHub releases.

Using Serde YAML

API documentation is available in rustdoc form but the general idea is:

```rust extern crate serde_yaml;

use std::collections::BTreeMap;

fn main() { // You have some type. let mut map = BTreeMap::new(); map.insert("x".tostring(), 1.0); map.insert("y".tostring(), 2.0);

// Serialize it to a YAML string.
let s = serde_yaml::to_string(&map).unwrap();
assert_eq!(s, "---\nx: 1\ny: 2");

// Deserialize it back to a Rust type.
let deserialized_map: BTreeMap<String, f64> = serde_yaml::from_str(&s).unwrap();
assert_eq!(map, deserialized_map);

} ```

It can also be used with Serde's serialization code generator serde_derive to handle structs and enums defined in your own program.

toml [dependencies] serde = "0.9" serde_derive = "0.9" serde_yaml = "0.6"

```rust

[macro_use]

extern crate serde_derive;

extern crate serde_yaml;

[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Serialize, Deserialize)]

struct Point { x: f64, y: f64, }

fn main() { let point = Point { x: 1.0, y: 2.0 };

let s = serde_yaml::to_string(&point).unwrap();
assert_eq!(s, "---\nx: 1\ny: 2");

let deserialized_point: Point = serde_yaml::from_str(&s).unwrap();
assert_eq!(point, deserialized_point);

} ```
