YAML Rust Binding
YAML Rust bindings are parsing APIs for Rust provided by serde_yaml/yaml-rust2, supporting serde-derived deserialization.
Purpose
To read and write YAML in Rust applications, mapping YAML to Rust structs through serde.
Mechanism
serde_yaml::from_str::<T>(yaml) returns T (requiring T: Deserialize), and serde_yaml::to_string(&obj) returns a String. It builds on the yaml-rust2 parser. serde derive macros generate the deserialization code automatically.
Use cases
- Rust configuration files
- Cargo.toml parsing
- YAML for Rust applications
