Ocaml Yaml Versions Save

CHANGES:

• Support MSVC with .obj and .lib extensions, and defining -DDYAML_DECLARE_EXPORT (@jonahbeckford #53)

• Upgrade to dune 2 (@TheLortex, #54)

• Add ocamlformat (@samoht, #55)

• Make yaml compatible with opam-monorepo (@TheLortex, #56)

CHANGES:

• Remove dependency on Rresult (@maxtori #50).

CHANGES:

• Support Yaml 1.2, and stop advertising Yaml 1.0 support. This also updates the vendored libyaml to 0.2.5 (@favonia #37).

• Add a Yaml.Util module with a number of useful combinators to manipulate Yaml.value types, such as retrieving keys and values, finding entries and converting to OCaml native types (@patricoferris #43)

• Move the sexpression derivers into a separate Yaml_sexp package (the yaml-sexp opam package). This reduces dependencies on the main library. You can still use Yaml types in ppx_sexplib_conv derivers by simply replacing the Yaml.value (or other type) with Yaml_sexp.value which is an alias that also includes the Sexp conversion functions in its scope. (@alan-j-hu @avsm #46).

• When outputting values, wrap special values like "true" or "1.0" in double quotes, so that Yaml.of_string will not interpret them as a non-string value (@avsm #47).

• Track anchors and mappings in Yaml.yaml (but not in the Yaml.value JSON representation). This also allows non-scalar values to be used as keys. (@favonia #38)

• Bump the internal write buffer for stream emission to 256k from 64k, as people are writing ever-larger Yaml files! In the future, this static buffer will be replaced by a dynamically growing output buffer but for now needs to be set manually.

• The minimum supported OCaml version is now OCaml 4.05.

CHANGES:

• Fix a memory unsoundness issue with larger files in the bindings to libyaml, which fixes spurious errors when parsing larger YAML files (#35 marcinkoziej)
• Expose more information about error locations while parsing a Yaml file (#34 @marcinkoziej)
• Add test for a large Yaml file (#30 @pmonson711)
• Bump size of internal serialisation buffer in to_string to 64KB from 16KB (@avsm).
• Switch CI to GitHub Actions (@avsm)
• Depend on dune-configurator in the build to be compatible with dune 2.0 and higher (@avsm)

CHANGES:

• Add unexpected error codes to error messages so that debugging errors from libyaml is possible (#28 @mjambon)

CHANGES:

• Represent quoted scalars as strings in Json encoding (#22 @rizo, fixes #20).
• Expose more detailed scalar information in Yaml.yaml (#22 @rizo).
• Add Yaml.equal (#22 @rizo)
• Avoid printing the decimal point when the float number is an integer (#25 @kit-ty-kate)

CHANGES:

• Support parsing of canonical Yaml null, float and bool values (@avsm, fixes #15 #16).
• Port from jbuilder to dune (#2 @rgrinberg)
• Use dune.configurator for config probing (#18 @emillon)
• Upgrade opam metadata to 2.0 format (@avsm)
• Suppress some C warnings on build due to ctypes autogen until ctypes gains support for unsigned char types (@avsm)
• Add Windows build support (@avsm #11)
• Refresh libyaml to upstream changeset 85d1f168ef39f4 (@avsm)
• Switch CI to Azure Pipelines and test Windows, Linux and macOS (@avsm)
• Add Junit output to the Alcotest (@avsm)

• Repair build on ppc64le by using Configurator to query CFLAGS. ppc64le needs an mcmodel=small due to a quick of the architecture.
• Minor improvements to ocamldoc documentation.

• Explicitly depend on sexplib in jbuild description.
• Remove use of deprecated build variables in jbuild file.
• Add a Yaml_unix module with functions to read and write from files directly.
• Eliminate runtime dependency on Str (#10 from @yallop)
• Various build fixes (#9 #8 #7 from @diml @rgrinberg).

This is an OCaml library to parse and generate the YAML file format. It is intended to interoperable with the Ezjsonm JSON handling library, if the simple common subset of Yaml is used. Anchors and other advanced Yaml features are not implemented in the JSON compatibility layer.
