About:
PortableLibyaml is a YAML 1.1 parser and emitter library written in C. It provides a fast, portable, and dependency-free solution for processing YAML files in applications. Its main value proposition is enabling robust YAML support in C/C++ projects without requiring external dependencies.
Key Features:
  • Fast C-based parsing and emitting
  • No external dependencies
  • Portable across platforms
  • Compliant with YAML 1.1 specification
Use Cases:
  • Parsing configuration files in C/C++ applications
  • Implementing YAML support in embedded systems
  • Data serialization and deserialization
Alternatives:
  • libcyaml – More modern C library with YAML 1.2 support and schema validation
  • PyYAML – Python-based implementation, not suitable for C/C++ projects
