Doc suggestion: clarify version and degree of YAML spec compliance

Open algal opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I think it would help if the README or some other piece of top-level documentation provided some guidance regarding what version or versions of the YAML spec this library aims to support, and how fully it supports that spec.

I'm new to YAML and was looking for that information too. The READMEs still doesn't have it. This is what I found (Jan 2024) by looking around:

  • yaml.org site (last update Nov. 2021) states that "libyaml # "C" Fast YAML 1.1".
  • "The current release of LibYAML: 0.2.5 (2020-06-01)."
  • matrix.yaml.info YAML test suite comparation website indicates that this library doesn't support well the YAML 1.2: (pass/failed test cases = 330/72 on Jan. 2022)
