About:
yaml-cpp is a YAML 1.2 parser and emitter written in modern C++. It provides a native, dependency-free solution for reading and writing YAML configuration files within C++ applications. Its primary value is offering a robust, standard-compliant way to handle complex configuration data without resorting to external processes.
Key Features:
  • Full YAML 1.2 specification compliance
  • Header-only or compiled library options
  • Event-based parsing (SAX) and DOM-style tree representation
  • C++11/14/17/20 modern standard support
Use Cases:
  • Parsing configuration files for C++ applications
  • Generating YAML output from C++ data structures
  • Building C++ tools that interact with Kubernetes manifests
Alternatives:
  • libyaml – libyaml is a lower-level C library, whereas yaml-cpp offers a higher-level C++ interface.
  • rapidjson – RapidJSON is optimized for JSON, while yaml-cpp specifically handles the YAML syntax and spec.
