golang-go.yaml-yaml-v4 4.0.0~rc4-1

Package Information

DescriptionYAML org maintained fork of go-yaml/yaml

The yaml package enables Go programs to very comfortably encode and decode YAML values. It was developed within Canonical as part of the juju project, and is based on a pure Go port of the well-known libyaml C library to parse and generate YAML data quickly and reliably.

This project started as a fork of the extremely popular go-yaml/yaml project, and is being maintained by the official YAML organization.

The YAML team took over ongoing maintenance and development of the project after discussion with go-yaml's author, @niemeyer, following his decision to label the project repository as "unmaintained" in April 2025.

All ongoing work, including new features and routine bug-fixes, will happen in v4. If you’re starting a new project or upgrading an existing one, please use the go.yaml.in/yaml/v4 import path.
