Load YAML and JSON documents using Swift.
YamlSwift parses a string of YAML document(s) (or a JSON document) and returns a Yaml enum value representing that string.
Use Carthage to build and install.
Or use CocoaPods :
Add pod 'Yaml' to your Podfile and run pod install.
To use it, you should import it using the following statement:
import YamlA Yaml value can be any of these cases:
enum Yaml {
case null
case bool(Bool)
case int(Int)
case double(Double)
case string(String)
case array([Yaml])
case dictionary([Yaml: Yaml])
}Yaml.load (String) throws -> YamlTakes a string of a YAML document and returns a Yaml enum.
let value = try! Yaml.load("a: 1\nb: 2")
print(value["a"]) // Int(1)
print(value["b"]) // Int(2)
print(value["c"]) // NullIf the input document is invalid or contains more than one YAML document, an error is thrown.
do {
let value = try Yaml.load("a\nb: 2")
}
catch {
print(error) // expected end, near "b: 2"
}Yaml.loadMultiple (String) throws -> [Yaml]Takes a string of one or more YAML documents and returns [Yaml].
let value = try! Yaml.loadMultiple("---\na: 1\nb: 2\n---\na: 3\nb: 4")
print(value[0]["a"]) // Int(1)
print(value[1]["a"]) // Int(3)It will throw an error if an error is encountered in any of the documents.
value[Int] -> Yaml
value[Int] = YamlIf used on a Yaml.array value, it will return the value at the specified index. If the index is invalid or the value is not a Yaml.array, Yaml.null is returned. You can also set a value at a specific index. Enough elements will be added to the wrapped array to set the specified index. If the value is not a Yaml.array, it will change to it after set.
var value = try! Yaml.load("- Behrang\n- Maryam")
print(value[0]) // String(Behrang)
print(value[1]) // String(Maryam)
print(value[2]) // Null
value[2] = "Radin"
print(value[2]) // String(Radin)value[Yaml] -> Yaml
value[Yaml] = YamlIf used on a Yaml.dictionary value, it will return the value for the specified key. If a value for the specified key does not exist, or value is not a Yaml.dictionary, Yaml.null is returned. You can also set a value for a specific key. If the value is not a Yaml.dictionary, it will change to it after set.
Since Yaml is a literal convertible type, you can pass simple values to this method.
var value = try! Yaml.load("first name: Behrang\nlast name: Noruzi Niya")
print(value["first name"]) // String(Behrang)
print(value["last name"]) // String(Noruzi Niya)
print(value["age"]) // Null
value["first name"] = "Radin"
value["age"] = 1
print(value["first name"]) // String(Radin)
print(value["last name"]) // String(Noruzi Niya)
print(value["age"]) // Int(1)value.bool -> Bool?Returns an Optional<Bool> value. If the value is a Yaml.bool value, the wrapped value is returned. Otherwise nil is returned.
let value = try! Yaml.load("animate: true\nshow tip: false\nusage: 25")
print(value["animate"].bool) // Optional(true)
print(value["show tip"].bool) // Optional(false)
print(value["usage"].bool) // nilvalue.int -> Int?Returns an Optional<Int> value. If the value is a Yaml.int value, the wrapped value is returned. Otherwise nil is returned.
let value = try! Yaml.load("a: 1\nb: 2.0\nc: 2.5")
print(value["a"].int) // Optional(1)
print(value["b"].int) // Optional(2)
print(value["c"].int) // nilvalue.double -> Double?Returns an Optional<Double> value. If the value is a Yaml.double value, the wrapped value is returned. Otherwise nil is returned.
let value = try! Yaml.load("a: 1\nb: 2.0\nc: 2.5\nd: true")
print(value["a"].double) // Optional(1.0)
print(value["b"].double) // Optional(2.0)
print(value["c"].double) // Optional(2.5)
print(value["d"].double) // nilvalue.string -> String?Returns an Optional<String> value. If the value is a Yaml.string value, the wrapped value is returned. Otherwise nil is returned.
let value = try! Yaml.load("first name: Behrang\nlast name: Noruzi Niya\nage: 33")
print(value["first name"].string) // Optional("Behrang")
print(value["last name"].string) // Optional("Noruzi Niya")
print(value["age"].string) // nilvalue.array -> [Yaml]?Returns an Optional<Array<Yaml>> value. If the value is a Yaml.array value, the wrapped value is returned. Otherwise nil is returned.
let value = try! Yaml.load("languages:\n - Swift: true\n - Objective C: false")
print(value.array) // nil
print(value["languages"].array) // Optional([Dictionary([String(Swift): Bool(true)]), Dictionary([String(Objective C): Bool(false)])])value.dictionary -> [Yaml: Yaml]?Returns an Optional<Dictionary<Yaml, Yaml>> value. If the value is a Yaml.dictionary value, the wrapped value is returned. Otherwise nil is returned.
let value = try! Yaml.load("- Swift: true\n- Objective C: false")
print(value.dictionary) // nil
print(value[0].dictionary) // Optional([String(Swift): Bool(true)])value.count -> Int?Returns an Optional<Int> value. If the value is either a Yaml.array or a Yaml.dictionary value, the count of elements is returned. Otherwise nil is returned.
let value = try! Yaml.load("- Swift: true\n- Objective C: false")
print(value.count) // Optional(2)
print(value[0].count) // Optional(1)
print(value[0]["Swift"].count) // nilMIT
