Re: YAML for Java

Sure.

YamlBeans actually uses the tokenizer, parser, and emitter from JvYAML.
These have been refactored pretty heavily in some cases and a few bugs have
been fixed. It doesn't use the rest of the pieces from JvYAML because I felt
the API was not easy enough to use, and not just from lack of documentation.
Instead, I wrote new serialization and deserialization code that is as
simple as possible. My YamlReader and YamlWriter classes are little more
than 300 lines each. The focus was on a super easy to use API and also clean
(and configurable) YAML output. Examples of the API and configurable YAML
output can be seen in the documentation on the YamlBeans website.

I was just recently told YamlBeans "is like Xstream for YAML". It turns out
I unknowingly came very close to building Xstream! Looking into Xstream, I
could have written a driver to read and emit YAML (eg they have a JSON
driver, though it is not as powerful as their XML driver). Oh well, I like
having a tight API that is dedicated to YAML. XStream has some additional
features, though none I feel YamlBeans needs. Their JAR is 401k (with no xpp
parser) versus YamlBeans' 138k.
