I've just released D:YAML 0.2 . This release brings emitting functionality, finishing the main part of D:YAML feature set. From now on, the focus will be on polishing D:YAML, making code more maintainable, optimizing and improving documentation.

D:YAML is a YAML parser and emitter library for D.

Emitting code has been fully implemented (mostly translated from PyYAML),
along with support for emitting custom types (loading custom types
already works with 0.1).

YAML tags are now stored in nodes, allowing D:YAML to be more compliant to the specification.

Many scanner, composer and constructor bugs have been fixed.

Loader API has been broken to make it more extensible in future -
Representer and Constructor are no more specified in the constructor,
and the load() shortcut functions have been removed, as all that's needed to
load a YAML document now is Loader("file.yaml").load() .

Tutorials, API documentation and examples have been updated to reflect the changes.


Note that D:YAML is still a work in progress and its API might yet see some compatibility breaking changes. Basic Loader/Dumper API is unlikely to break any more, but it will be updated when std.stream is rewritten.

what do you think about bringing in (adapt) your YAML tool into the Orange  serialisation library. (orange.. https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/orange)

Sounds probably not too interesting but in conjunction with the upcoming std.database/ ORM  stuff Serialisation/De-Serialisation will become pretty important .

// occupied snippet from Orange ..
class Foo
{
    int a;
}

void main ()
{
    auto foo = new Foo; // create something to serialize
    foo.a = 3; // change the default value of "a"

    auto archive = new YAMlArchive!(char); // create an yaml archive
    auto serializer = new Serializer(archive); // create the serializer

    serializer.serialize(foo);

I can see that D:YAML is Boost licensed, how does that work out when PyYAML is MIT licensed?

I asked Kirill Simonov (the PyYAML dev) about releasing D:YAML under the Boost license, he said he has no problem with that.

I can't rule out doing this in the future, but it seems like Orange work, not D:YAML work.

Currently, D:YAML API is still not stable, so I don't think it would be a good idea right now anyway. Once the API is stable, I'll do a 1.0 release. Further releases will see no breaking changes.

Ok, thanks.
