pyyaml
A full-featured YAML processing framework for Python with optional LibYAML bindings for improved performance.
What is pyyaml?
PyYAML is a YAML processing framework for Python that provides complete parsing and emitting capabilities for YAML data formats. It solves the problem of working with YAML configuration files, data serialization, and complex document structures in Python applications. The library offers both pure Python implementations and optional high-performance C bindings through LibYAML.
Python developers who need to read, write, or manipulate YAML files for configuration, data serialization, or inter-process communication. This includes DevOps engineers, data scientists, and application developers working with YAML-based tools and formats.
Developers choose PyYAML because it provides the most complete YAML 1.1 specification implementation for Python with proven reliability. The optional LibYAML bindings offer significant performance improvements while maintaining the same API, and the safe loading functionality provides security when processing untrusted YAML input.
