This is a wrapper of PyYAML to make it easier to use. It creates functions similar to the stdlib’s ‘json’ module.
max_yaml can be installed from PyPi with your favorite package manager.
pipx install max_yaml
pip install max_yaml
poetry add max_yaml
The helper functions are familiar to any developer familiar with the JSON module from the stdlib:
import max_yaml as yaml
yaml.dump(data, file)
yaml.dumps(data)
yaml.load(file)
yaml.loads(string)
There are also some helper functions mapped to the Safe Loader and Dumper from the PyYAML library:
import max_yaml as yaml
yaml.safe_dump(data, file)
yaml.safe_dumps(data)
yaml.safe_load(file)
yaml.safe_loads(string)
All of the functions are taking advantage of the faster C Loaders and Dumpers if they are available. If not, they will fall back to the slower Python versions.
