Yaml library drops comments when round tripping
Describe the bug
If I parse a yaml file, edit it then save it back, it drops all comments.
Steps to Reproduce
import {
parse,
stringify,
} from "https://deno.land/[email protected]/yaml/mod.ts";
const result = stringify(parse(`
# comment
name: example
`));
console.log(stringify(result)) // name: example
Expected behavior
I expect all code comments to be preserved.
Environment
deno 1.31.3 (release, x86_64-apple-darwin)
v8 11.0.226.19
typescript 4.9.4
- std version:
0.182.0
I would propose an option on parse that would return not a basic record but a YamlDocument class object. Add onto the more complex object a full information about tokens. When passed into stringify it would have the full information needed to write the document about out exactly as it came in.
