pyyaml

Node-pyyaml

Robust YAML parser and dumper for Node.js using [PyYAML] (http://pyyaml.org/) bindings: convert a YAML string into a JS object, load a YAML file in a JS object, dump a JS object in a YAML file.

To see how YAML will be parsed into JSON, check out the great [Online YAML Parser] (http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/).

Installation

npm install pyyaml

Usage

pyyaml.eval(yamlString, callback): parse a YAML string into a JS object
pyyaml.load(yamlFile, callback): load a YAML file in a JS object
pyyaml.dump(jsObject, yamlFile, callback): dump a JS object in a YAML file

Example

var pyyaml = require('pyyaml');

//Eval a YAML string
pyyaml.eval('I like: {using: YAML, for: config files}', function(err, jsObject) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('eval successful: ' + JSON.stringify(jsObject));  
});

//Load a YAML file
pyyaml.load('file.yml', function(err, jsObject) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('load successful: ' + JSON.stringify(jsObject));  
});

//Dump a JS object in a YAML file
pyyaml.dump({use: 'pyyaml', when: 'you want to parse', your: 'YAML files'}, 'file.yml', function(err) {      
  console.log(err ? 'dump failed' : 'dump successful: go check file.yml');      
});
