===============
YAML Support for the Go Language
## Introduction
The `yaml` package enables [Go](https://go.dev/) programs to comfortably encode
and decode [YAML](https://yaml.org/) values.
It was originally developed within [Canonical](https://www.canonical.com) as
part of the [juju](https://juju.ubuntu.com) project, and is based on a pure Go
port of the well-known [libyaml](http://pyyaml.org/wiki/LibYAML) C library to
parse and generate YAML data quickly and reliably.
## Project Status
This project started as a fork of the extremely popular [go-yaml](
https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml/)
project, and is being maintained by the official [YAML organization](
https://github.com/yaml/).
The YAML team took over ongoing maintenance and development of the project after
discussion with go-yaml's author, @niemeyer, following his decision to
[label the project repository as "unmaintained"](
https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml/blob/944c86a7d2/README.md) in April 2025.
We have put together a team of dedicated maintainers including representatives
of go-yaml's most important downstream projects.
We will strive to earn the trust of the various go-yaml forks to switch back to
this repository as their upstream.
Please [contact us](https://cloud-native.slack.com/archives/C08PPAT8PS7) if you
would like to contribute or be involved.
## Compatibility
The `yaml` package supports most of YAML 1.2, but preserves some behavior from
1.1 for backwards compatibility.
Specifically, v3 of the `yaml` package:
* Supports YAML 1.1 bools (`yes`/`no`, `on`/`off`) as long as they are being
decoded into a typed bool value.
Otherwise they behave as a string.
Booleans in YAML 1.2 are `true`/`false` only.
* Supports octals encoded and decoded as `0777` per YAML 1.1, rather than
`0o777` as specified in YAML 1.2, because most parsers still use the old
format.
Octals in the `0o777` format are supported though, so new files work.
* Does not support base-60 floats.
These are gone from YAML 1.2, and were actually never supported by this
package as it's clearly a poor choice.
## Installation and Usage
The import path for the package is *go.yaml.in/yaml/v3*.
To install it, run:
```bash
go get go.yaml.in/yaml/v3
```
## API Documentation
See: <https://pkg.go.dev/go.yaml.in/yaml/v3>
## API Stability
The package API for yaml v3 will remain stable as described in [gopkg.in](
https://gopkg.in).
## Example
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"go.yaml.in/yaml/v3"
)
var data = `
a: Easy!
b:
c: 2
d: [3, 4]
`
// Note: struct fields must be public in order for unmarshal to
// correctly populate the data.
type T struct {
A string
B struct {
RenamedC int `yaml:"c"`
D []int `yaml:",flow"`
}
}
func main() {
t := T{}
err := yaml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &t)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("--- t:\n%v\n\n", t)
d, err := yaml.Marshal(&t)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("--- t dump:\n%s\n\n", string(d))
m := make(map[interface{}]interface{})
err = yaml.Unmarshal([]byte(data), &m)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("--- m:\n%v\n\n", m)
d, err = yaml.Marshal(&m)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("error: %v", err)
}
fmt.Printf("--- m dump:\n%s\n\n", string(d))
}
```
This example will generate the following output:
```
--- t:
{Easy! {2 [3 4]}}
--- t dump:
a: Easy!
b:
c: 2
d: [3, 4]
--- m:
map[a:Easy! b:map[c:2 d:[3 4]]]
--- m dump:
a: Easy!
b:
c: 2
d:
- 3
- 4
```
