Syck (http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/syck/) provides a DOM-like API. 
AFAIK Syck is the default parser for Ruby, so it makes sense to use it 
if you are going to read/write same documents from both Ruby and C++.

It's not very difficult to write a DOM wrapper over LibYAML, you could 
take http://pyyaml.org/browser/libyaml/trunk/src/loader.c and 
http://pyyaml.org/browser/libyaml/trunk/src/dumper.c as a model.

Thanks,
Kirill
