I am not looking for a complete implementation which is quite an effort but rather for a subset which does simple things such as parsing - a list of hashes (dictionaries), - a dictionary of dictionaries (nested to arbitrary depths), - multi-line comments --Hannes On 8/16/17, H.

Are there any news about a YAML parser for Pharo 5 / 6.1?

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
