Overview

YAML event parser class. This class parses a YAML document and calls events on the handler that is passed to the constructor. The events can be used for things such as constructing a YAML AST or deserializing YAML documents. It can even be fed back to Emitter to emit the same document that was parsed.

See Handler for documentation on the events that Parser emits.

Here is an example that prints out ever scalar found in a YAML document:

# Handler for detecting scalar values
class ScalarHandler < Psych::Handler
  def scalar value, anchor, tag, plain, quoted, style
    puts value
  end
end

parser = Psych::Parser.new(ScalarHandler.new)
parser.parse(yaml_document)

Here is an example that feeds the parser back in to Emitter. The YAML document is read from STDIN and written back out to STDERR:

parser = Psych::Parser.new(Psych::Emitter.new($stderr))
parser.parse($stdin)

::Psych uses Parser in combination with TreeBuilder to construct an AST of the parsed YAML document.
