This library unifies the access to two different php-extensions and the symphony yaml component to make switching easier. It falls back to implementations in the following order:

- php yaml (  )
- php syck (  )
- symfony/yaml (  )

Limitations
-----------

[](#limitations)

Since the yaml-implementations deal with errors very differently, please don't try to parse something that is not intended to end up as an array.

Low Coverage
------------

[](#low-coverage)

Currently building the syck library fails on travis, so the related code can not be tested and tests are skipped.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Installation via composer is the proposed way of using this library. It will always use [semantic versioning](http://semver.org).

```
"require": {
  "idrinth/yaml-facade": "^1.0"
}

```
