B4A Library [B4X] YAML parser

A simple parser, similar to the json parser, for YAML strings.

It is compatible with B4A and B4J.
It is based on: https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/yamlbeans (MIT license)

Put yaml.jar in the additional libraries folder and add a reference with:

#AdditionalJar: yaml.jar

Note that booleans and dates will return as strings.

Thank you @Erel,
A couple of years ago I looked into YAML and found the clean formatting interesting and easy on the eyes to look at. For those of you that are interested in YAML, I've added some links to the resources that I had previously used.

A tutorial write up

The YAML Format (Symfony Docs)

symfony.com

It's easier to watch the tutorial videos

Simple video


Slightly more advanced video


Enjoy...

Does anyone has an example how to write a yaml?
It looks like yamlbeans aslo supports writing from List and maps
