Re: [Pharo-users] YAML parser (2017)

Are there any news about a YAML parser for Pharo 5 / 6.1? --Hannes On 5/29/17, Peter Uhnak <i.uhnak@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

do we have a working parser for YAML?

There's PPYAMLGrammar (in PetitParser), however it doesn't seem to work in Pharo 6 at all (not even tests pass). In Pharo 5 the tests are green, but using it on YAML content still fails... with small fix I managed it to "pass", however the output seems to be a very fine-grained AST decomposition and not the expected output (dictionaries/arrays).

So do we have some else/working?

YAML specs have BNF descriptions, so maybe SmaCC can generate it? (I don't know SmaCC, so maybe this is not how it works.)

Thanks, Peter
