LibCYAML
A C library for schema-based YAML parsing and serialization into custom C data structures.
What is LibCYAML?
LibCYAML is a C library for reading and writing YAML documents with schema-based validation. It allows developers to define schemas that describe both the allowed YAML structure and the corresponding C data structures, enabling type-safe loading and saving of YAML into custom memory layouts. It solves the problem of safely parsing configuration or data files in C applications without manual YAML traversal.
C developers who need to read or write YAML configuration files, data serialization, or structured documents in their applications, particularly those in embedded systems or performance-sensitive environments.
Developers choose LibCYAML because it provides a schema-driven, type-safe approach to YAML handling in C, reducing boilerplate code and error-prone manual parsing while offering fine-grained control over data structure mapping and validation.
