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
