NAME

LibYAML::FFI - FFI binding for C libyaml

SYNOPSIS

use LibYAML::FFI;
my $ok = $parser->yaml_parser_initialize;
my $input = <<'EOM';
foo: [
    &ALIAS bar, *ALIAS
  ]
EOM
$parser->yaml_parser_set_input_string($input, length($input));
my $events;
while (1) {
    my $event = LibYAML::FFI::Event->new;
    my $ok = $parser->yaml_parser_parse($event);
    my $str = $event->as_string;
    print "Event: $str";
    last unless $ok;
    last if $event->type == LibYAML::FFI::event_type::YAML_STREAM_END_EVENT;
}

DESCRIPTION

This is a Proof of Concept for now. It uses FFI::Platypus to provide a wrapper around the C library libyaml. For now it can only parse, not emit. Libyaml sources are included for now, I would like to use Alien::LibYAML in the future.

For loading a data structure, see LibYAML::FFI::YPP in this distribution.
