YAML 1.2 parser / renderer

[Mike Stead]

I've just finished up porting the js-yaml parser and renderer over to Haxe. Currently JS, Flash and Neko 2.0 are supported and it should compile fine with Haxe 2.10+.

You can find it on haxelib:

 

haxelib install yaml

For more details head over to https://github.com/mikestead/hx-yaml

I'd like to include the C++ target but hxcpp doesn't compile unicode support into it's regex library yet (Neko added this in v2.0). Had a quick go at compiling the Java target but had a fair few errors.

Anyway let me know if you run into any problems.

Hi there!

I'm having some problems with yaml, maybe you can help me out (btw, this is on iOS-target. Desktop-target works without problems)?

I'm using it to keep track of highscores in my game, and this is what I'm trying to do:

var chapterData:AnyObjectMap = Yaml.read(SystemPath.documentsDirectory +"/chapter1.yaml", Parser.options().useMaps());

chapterData.get("highscores").set("level_" +Std.string(Reg.currentLevel), Reg.lastAquiredScore);

Yaml.write(SystemPath.documentsDirectory +"/chapter1.yaml", chapterData, Renderer.options().setIndent(4));
(line 449^)

I can read the file and display its contents without problems, but when I try to do write(), it crashes with this message:

Any ideas? :s
