yaml-cpp is a C++ library for parsing and emitting YAML, conforming to the YAML 1.2 spec. It builds cross-platform via CMake as a static or shared library.
Use cases
- parse YAML config files in C++
- emit YAML from C++ data structures
- read Kubernetes-style manifests programmatically
- convert YAML to other formats in a C++ app
When to choose
- you need YAML 1.2 support in a C++ project
- you want a mature, MIT-licensed, widely used YAML library
- you need both parsing and emitting in one library
When to avoid
- you are not working in C++
- you only need simple key-value config parsing with no YAML features
- you need streaming/incremental parsing of huge YAML files
