Note: This package is a fork of https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml (v3). That
library was missing a few features that
Pachyderm needs when handling YAML,
including the ability to rely on json
struct tags during marshalling and
unmarshalling. We also hope to finish adding multi-document support (so that
multiple JSON documents, of form { d1 }{ d2 }...
can be parsed).
Issues and pull requests are welcome, though we recommend, when possible, sending issues and PRs to the original repo.
We will try to keep this repo up-to-date with the v3
branch of that repo, and
we hope to migrate Pachyderm to it
fully (and deprecate this repo). We will once they (or gogoproto) add features
that will allow us to marshal and unmarshal generated protobuf structs to and
from YAML faithfully.
The yaml package enables Go programs to comfortably encode and decode YAML values. It was developed within Canonical as part of the juju project, and is based on a pure Go port of the well-known libyaml C library to parse and generate YAML data quickly and reliably.
The yaml package supports most of YAML 1.2, but preserves some behavior from 1.1 for backwards compatibility.
Specifically, as of v3 of the yaml package:
- YAML 1.1 bools (yes/no, on/off) are supported as long as they are being decoded into a typed bool value. Otherwise they behave as a string. Booleans in YAML 1.2 are true/false only.
- Octals encode and decode as 0777 per YAML 1.1, rather than 0o777 as specified in YAML 1.2, because most parsers still use the old format. Octals in the 0o777 format are supported though, so new files work.
- Does not support base-60 floats. These are gone from YAML 1.2, and were actually never supported by this package as it's clearly a poor choice.
and offers backwards compatibility with YAML 1.1 in some cases. 1.2, including support for anchors, tags, map merging, etc. Multi-document unmarshalling is not yet implemented, and base-60 floats from YAML 1.1 are purposefully not supported since they're a poor design and are gone in YAML 1.2.

package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"gopkg.in/pachyderm/yaml.v3"
)
var data = `
a: Easy!
b:
c: 2
d: [3, 4]
`
// Note: struct fields must be public in order for unmarshal to
// correctly populate the data.
type T struct {
A string
B struct {
RenamedC int `yaml:"c"`
D []int `yaml:",flow"`
}
}
func main() {
t := T{}
err := yaml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &t)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("--- t:\n%v\n\n", t)
d, err := yaml.Marshal(&t)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("--- t dump:\n%s\n\n", string(d))
m := make(map[interface{}]interface{})
err = yaml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &m)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("--- m:\n%v\n\n", m)
d, err = yaml.Marshal(&m)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("--- m dump:\n%s\n\n", string(d))
}
This example will generate the following output:
--- t:
{Easy! {2 [3 4]}}
--- t dump:
a: Easy!
b:
c: 2
d: [3, 4]
--- m:
map[a:Easy! b:map[c:2 d:[3 4]]]
--- m dump:
a: Easy!
b:
c: 2
d:
- 3
- 4
