LibYAML covers presenting and parsing processes. Thus LibYAML defines the
|
|
following two processors:
|
|
* Parser, which takes an input stream of bytes and produces a sequence
|
|
of parsing events.
|
|
* Emitter, which takes a sequence of events and produces a stream of bytes.
|
|
|
|
The processes of parsing and presenting are inverse to each other. Any
|
|
sequence of events produced by parsing a well-formed YAML document should
|
|
be acceptable by the Emitter, which should produce an equivalent document.
|
|
Similarly, any document produced by emitting a sequence of events should
|
|
be acceptable for the Parser, which should produce an equivalent sequence
|
|
of events.
|
|
The job of resolving implicit tags, composing and serializing representation
|
|
trees, as well as constructing and representing native objects is left to
|
|
applications and bindings. Although some of these processes may be covered
|
|
in the latter releases, they are not in the scope of the initial release of
|
|
LibYAML.
