lyaml
A fast LibYAML binding for Lua with high-level YAML↔Lua table conversion and low-level event parsing.
What is lyaml?
LYAML is a binding between the LibYAML C library and Lua that enables high-performance YAML 1.1 parsing and generation. It provides both simple conversion between YAML documents and Lua tables, and low-level access to YAML token and event streams for advanced use cases.
Lua developers who need to read, write, or process YAML configuration files, data serialization formats, or complex document structures within Lua applications.
Developers choose LYAML for its fast C-based implementation, dual high-level and low-level API design, and faithful handling of YAML 1.1 semantics including proper null value preservation and multiple document support.
