# mini-yaml
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/jimmiebergmann/mini-yaml.svg?branch=master)](https://github.com/jimmiebergmann/mini-yaml#build-status)
Single header YAML 1.0 C++11 serializer/deserializer.
## Quickstart
#### file.txt
```
key: foo bar
list:
- hello world
- integer: 123
boolean: true
```
#### .cpp
```cpp
Yaml::Node root;
Yaml::Parse(root, "file.txt");
// Print all scalars.
std::cout << root["key"].As<std::string>() << std::endl;
std::cout << root["list"][0].As<std::string>() << std::endl;
std::cout << root["list"][1]["integer"].As<int>() << std::endl;
std::cout << root["list"][1]["boolean"].As<bool>() << std::endl;
// Iterate second sequence item.
Node & item = root[1];
for(auto it = item.Begin(); it != item.End(); it++)
{
std::cout << (*it).first << ": " << (*it).second.As<string>() << std::endl;
}
```
#### Output
```
foo bar
hello world
123
1
integer: 123
boolean: true
```
See [Best practice](https://github.com/jimmiebergmann/mini-yaml#best-practice).
## Usage
Put [/yaml](https://github.com/jimmiebergmann/mini-yaml/blob/master/yaml) in your project directory and simply #include "[yaml/Yaml.hpp](https://github.com/jimmiebergmann/mini-yaml/blob/master/yaml/Yaml.hpp)".
See [examples/FirstExample.cpp](https://github.com/jimmiebergmann/mini-yaml/blob/master/examples/FirstExample.cpp) for additional examples.
## Best practice
Always use references when accessing node content, if not intended to make a copy. Modifying copied node wont affect the original node content.
See example:
```cpp
Yaml::Node root;
Yaml::Node & ref = root; // The content of "root" is not being copied.
ref["key"] = "value"; // Modifying "root" node content.
Yaml::Node copy = root; // The content of "root" is copied to "copy".
// Slow operation if "root" contains a lot of content.
copy["key"] = "value"; // Modifying "copy" node content. "root" is left untouched.
```
## Build status
Builds are passed if all tests are good and no memory leaks were found.
