This is an implementation of YAML, a human friendly data serialization language. Started as PyYAML port, it was completely rewritten from scratch. Now it's very fast, and supports 1.2 spec.
If your have not used custom tags or loader classes - no changes needed. Just upgrade library and enjoy high parse speed.
In other case, you should rewrite your tag constructors and custom loader classes, to conform new schema-based API. See examples and wiki for details. Note, that parser internals were completely rewritten.
npm install js-yaml
If you want to inspect your YAML files from CLI, install js-yaml globally:
npm install js-yaml -g
usage: js-yaml [-h] [-v] [-c] [-j] [-t] file
Positional arguments:
file File with YAML document(s)
Optional arguments:
-h, --help Show this help message and exit.
-v, --version Show program's version number and exit.
-c, --compact Display errors in compact mode
-j, --to-json Output a non-funky boring JSON
-t, --trace Show stack trace on error
<script src="js-yaml.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var doc = jsyaml.load('greeting: hello\nname: world');
</script>
Browser support was done mostly for online demo. If you find any errors - feel free to send pull requests with fixes. Also note, that IE and other old browsers needs es5-shims to operate.
Here we cover the most 'useful' methods. If you need advanced details (creating your own tags), see wiki and examples for more info.
In node.js JS-YAML automatically registers handlers for .yml
and .yaml
files. You can load them just with require
. That's mostly equivalent to
calling load()
on fetched content of a file. Just with one string!
require('js-yaml');
// Get document, or throw exception on error
try {
var doc = require('/home/ixti/example.yml');
console.log(doc);
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
Parses string
as single YAML document. Returns a JavaScript object or throws
YAMLException
on error.
NOTE: This function does not understands multi-document sources, it throws exception on those.
options:
filename
(default: null) - string to be used as a file path in
error/warning messages.strict
(default - false) makes the loader to throw errors instead of
warnings.schema
(default: DEFAULT_SCHEMA
) - specifies a schema to use.Same as load()
, but understands multi-document sources and apply iterator
to
each document.
var yaml = require('js-yaml');
yaml.loadAll(data, function (doc) {
console.log(doc);
});
Same as load()
but uses SAFE_SCHEMA
by default - only recommended tags of
YAML specification (no JavaScript-specific tags, e.g. !!js/regexp
).
Same as loadAll()
but uses SAFE_SCHEMA
by default - only recommended tags of
YAML specification (no JavaScript-specific tags, e.g. !!js/regexp
).
Serializes object
as YAML document.
options:
indent
(default: 2) - indentation width to use (in spaces).flowLevel
(default: -1) - specifies level of nesting, when to switch from
block to flow style for collections. -1 means block style everwherestyles
- "tag" => "style" map. Each tag may have own set of styles.schema
(default: DEFAULT_SCHEMA
) specifies a schema to use.styles:
!!null
"canonical" => "~"
!!int
"binary" => "0b1", "0b101010", "0b1110001111010"
"octal" => "01", "052", "016172"
"decimal" => "1", "42", "7290"
"hexadecimal" => "0x1", "0x2A", "0x1C7A"
!!null, !!bool, !!float
"lowercase" => "null", "true", "false", ".nan", '.inf'
"uppercase" => "NULL", "TRUE", "FALSE", ".NAN", '.INF'
"camelcase" => "Null", "True", "False", ".NaN", '.Inf'
By default, !!int uses decimal
, and !!null, !!bool, !!float use lowercase
.
Same as dump()
but uses SAFE_SCHEMA
by default - only recommended tags of
YAML specification (no JavaScript-specific tags, e.g. !!js/regexp
).
The list of standard YAML tags and corresponding JavaScipt types. See also YAML tag discussion and YAML types repository.
!!null '' # null
!!bool 'yes' # bool
!!int '3...' # number
!!float '3.14...' # number
!!binary '...base64...' # buffer
!!timestamp 'YYYY-...' # date
!!omap [ ... ] # array of key-value pairs
!!pairs [ ... ] # array or array pairs
!!set { ... } # array of objects with given keys and null values
!!str '...' # string
!!seq [ ... ] # array
!!map { ... } # object
JavaScript-specific tags
!!js/regexp /pattern/gim # RegExp
!!js/undefined '' # Undefined
!!js/function 'function () {...}' # Function
Note, that you use arrays or objects as key in JS-YAML. JS do not allows objects or array as keys, and stringifies (by calling .toString method) them at the moment of adding them.

? [ foo, bar ]
: - baz
? { foo: bar }
: - baz
- baz
{ "foo,bar": ["baz"], "[object Object]": ["baz", "baz"] }
Also, reading of properties on implicit block mapping keys is not supported yet. So, the following YAML document cannot be loaded.
&anchor foo:
foo: bar
*anchor: duplicate key
baz: bat
*anchor: duplicate key
