A Go library for encoding and decoding YAML, based on a pure Go port of libyaml. It supports most of YAML 1.2 with some YAML 1.1 compatibility, but is now explicitly unmaintained.
Use cases
- parse yaml config files in go
- encode go structs to yaml
- decode yaml into go structs
- read kubernetes-style yaml manifests
- serialize configuration as yaml
When to choose
- you need mature, battle-tested YAML support in Go and accept no future fixes
- you need YAML 1.1 compatibility behaviors like yes/no booleans
When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with active bug fixes and security patches
- you need multi-document unmarshalling
- starting a new project where a maintained fork is available
