YAML parser in Delphi? [closed]

Answer 1

I don't know about a full YAML implementation, but JSON (a subset) is getting pretty popular and there are even some Delphi libraries listed on the JSON site. Delphi 2009 is even using (a slightly modified version of?) JSON in DataSnap.

Answer 2

I have recently started a Delphi-YAML project on BitBucket:

https://bitbucket.org/OCTAGRAM/delphi-yaml

At least, I've got something running, but there are many tests missing and there are probably many bugs hiding.

Answer 3

Free Pascal also has some json libs.

I garbled up something like this to interface with PHP once. Here is the code:

Note that it is more proof of concept than an usable lib.

Answer 4

May be it is high time to implement a YAML parser in Delphi...

Copy code from PyYAML (but Python is a dynamically typed language)

Or take a look at SnakeYAML which is written in a statically typed language (Java)

Answer 5

This open source C# YAML parser looks like it could be a starting point for a Delphi implementation:
