YAMLParserJava

YAML decoder in Java.

Include in your project

1. Puts src/HashTypeYaml.java in your project
2. Sets any package to HashTypeYaml.java

Usage

For example, decodes following YAML as test1.yml file.

test1:
  id: 1234
  country: "Japan"
  code:
  data:
    users:
      - Alice
      - Bob
      - Chris
    title: "ABC Team"
    description: "ABC Team is the best!"

1. Create instance

   HashTypeYaml yaml = new HashTypeYaml();

2. Decode YAML and convert to Map object

   try {
       Map<String, Object> map = yaml.decode(new FileInputStream("test1.yml"));
   } catch (IOException e) {
       // Error handling
   }

   Or

   Map<String, Object> map = yaml.decodeOrEmpty("test1.yml");

   decodeOrEmpty does not raise the exception and returns empty map if I/O error is occurred.

3. Get value

   // Get id.
   System.out.println(map.get("test1/id"));   // => 1234
   
   // Get title.
   System.out.println(map.get("test1/data/title"));   // => ABC Team
   
   // Get users.
   List users = (List) map.get("test1/data/users");
   System.out.println(users.get(1));   // => Bob
