libyaml

libyaml provides Scala Native bindings for the LibYAML C library, enabling YAML parsing in Scala Native applications. It offers a programmer-friendly interface that abstracts away C library complexities while maintaining compatibility with the YAML specification.

Key Features

• Event-Based Parsing — Supports all event-based YAML parsing capabilities of LibYAML
• Specification Compliance — Can parse all twenty-eight examples from Chapter 2 of the YAML 1.2.1 specification
• Pure Scala Interface — No exposure to unsafe types, eliminating manual memory management concerns
• Data Structure Construction — Builds corresponding Scala data structures from parsed YAML content
• Tag Support — Handles YAML tags including custom application-specific tags (with ongoing improvements)

Philosophy

The library prioritizes a clean, pure Scala API that hides low-level C interoperability details, making YAML parsing accessible and safe for Scala Native developers.
