A language server implementing the Language Server Protocol (LSP) for YAML files, providing validation, schema-driven completion, hover, formatting, and document symbols. It supports JSON Schema drafts 04, 07, 2019-09, and 2020-12 and is distributed via npm.

Use cases

• add yaml autocomplete and validation to my editor
• validate yaml files against a json schema
• get hover documentation for kubernetes yaml
• format and lint yaml files
• language server for yaml in neovim

When to choose

• you need rich YAML editing features in any LSP-capable editor
• you want schema-based validation and completion for YAML config files
• you are building an editor plugin that needs YAML support

When to avoid

• you only need to parse YAML programmatically without editor features
• your project does not use the Language Server Protocol
• you need a standalone YAML linter CLI without an editor client
