Yams is a Swift YAML parser and emitter built on top of LibYAML. It provides Codable-based encoding/decoding, conversion to Swift standard library types, and a native Node representation.

Use cases

  • parse yaml files in swift
  • decode yaml into codable structs
  • serialize swift objects to yaml
  • read yaml config files on ios or macos
  • convert yaml to swift dictionaries
  • emit yaml strings from swift types

When to choose

  • you need a fast, spec-compliant YAML parser in Swift
  • you want Codable integration for YAML
  • you target Apple platforms or Linux with SwiftPM

When to avoid

  • you need YAML in a non-Swift project
  • you need extremely exotic YAML features unsupported by LibYAML
