LIBFYAML-CORE(3) libfyaml LIBFYAML-CORE(3) NAME libfyaml-core - libfyaml core API CORE This is the single top-level include for the entire libfyaml public API. Including it pulls in all subsystem headers: o Core YAML parser, document tree, emitter, and diagnostics (libfyaml/libfyaml-core.h) o General-purpose utilities and portability macros (libfyaml/libfyaml-util.h) o YAML path expression parser and executor (libfyaml/libfyaml-path-exec.h) o Document builder: event-stream to tree conversion (libfyaml/libfyaml-docbuild.h) o Document iterator: tree traversal and event replay (libfyaml/libfyaml-dociter.h) o Composer: callback-driven, path-aware event processing (libfyaml/libfyaml-composer.h) o Pluggable memory allocators (libfyaml/libfyaml-allocator.h) o Thread pool for parallel work (libfyaml/libfyaml-thread.h) o BLAKE3 cryptographic hashing (libfyaml/libfyaml-blake3.h) o Alignment macros and helpers (libfyaml/libfyaml-align.h) o Portable endian detection (libfyaml/libfyaml-endian.h) o Portable atomic operations (libfyaml/libfyaml-atomics.h) o Variable-length size encoding (libfyaml/libfyaml-vlsize.h) For faster compilation you may include only the subsystem headers you need. All public symbols are prefixed with fy_ (functions/types) or FY_ (macros and constants). YAML PARSER, DOCUMENT AND EMITTER This header provides the complete YAML 1.2 / JSON parser, document tree, and emitter API -- the core of libfyaml. It is the largest and most frequently used part of the public interface. Three complementary APIs cover the full lifecycle of a YAML document: Event-based parsing (fy_parser_*): A streaming interface similar to libyaml's. The parser produces a sequence of typed events (stream-start, document-start, scalar, sequence-start, ) without building an in-memory tree. Ideal for large documents, filters, and transcoding pipelines. Document tree (fy_document_*, fy_node_*): Builds a fully navigable in-memory tree from a YAML or JSON source. Nodes can be queried, modified, merged, and serialised. Path-expression helpers (fy_document_scanf(), fy_document_insert_at(), ) provide XPath-like access into the tree. Emitter (fy_emitter_*): Serialises documents or raw event streams back to YAML or JSON with full control over formatting style, indentation, and quoting. Supports streaming output to files, memory buffers, or user-supplied callbacks. Diagnostics (fy_diag_*): A structured error-reporting subsystem that attributes messages to precise source locations and integrates with IDE/compiler toolchains via a standard file:line:col: level: text format. All types are opaque pointers (struct fy_parser *, struct fy_document *, struct fy_node *, ) so the ABI is stable across minor releases. struct fy_version struct fy_version The YAML version Definition struct fy_version { int major; int minor; } Members major Major version number minor Major version number Description The parser fills it according to the %YAML directive found in the document. fy_version_compare int fy_version_compare(const struct fy_version *va, const struct fy_version *vb) Compare two yaml versions Parameters o va (const struct fy_version*) - The first version, if NULL use default version o vb (const struct fy_version*) - The second version, if NULL use default version Description Compare the versions Return 0 if versions are equal, > 0 if version va is higher than vb < 0 if version va is lower than vb fy_version_default const struct fy_version *fy_version_default(void) Get the default version of the library Parameters o void - no arguments Description Return the default version of the library, i.e. the highest stable version that is supported. Return The default YAML version of this library fy_version_is_supported bool fy_version_is_supported(const struct fy_version *vers) Check if supported version Parameters o vers (const struct fy_version*) - The version to check, NULL means default version. Description Check if the given YAML version is supported. Return true if version supported, false otherwise. fy_version_supported_iterate const struct fy_version *fy_version_supported_iterate(void **prevp) Iterate over the supported YAML versions Parameters o prevp (void**) - The previous version iterator Description This method iterates over the supported YAML versions of this ibrary. The start of the iteration is signalled by a NULL in *prevp. Return The next node in sequence or NULL at the end of the sequence. fy_shutdown void fy_shutdown(void) Final cleanup before exit Parameters o void - no arguments Description Some libraries cough*libclang* need explicit cleanup calls at the end of program execution, even if you've never called any of their functions. This method will make sure it calls their cleanup functions so that no memory leaks are reported in valgrind etc. struct fy_tag struct fy_tag The YAML tag structure. Definition struct fy_tag { const char *handle; const char *prefix; } Members handle Handle of the tag (i.e. "!!") prefix The prefix of the tag (i.e. "tag:yaml.org,2002:") The parser fills it according to the %TAG directives encountered during parsing. struct fy_mark struct fy_mark marker holding information about a location in a struct fy_input Definition struct fy_mark { size_t input_pos; int line; int column; } Members input_pos Position of the mark (from the start of the current input) line Line position (0 index based) column Column position (0 index based) enum fy_error_type enum fy_error_type The supported diagnostic/error types Definition enum fy_error_type { FYET_DEBUG, FYET_INFO, FYET_NOTICE, FYET_WARNING, FYET_ERROR, FYET_MAX }; Constants FYET_DEBUG Debug level (disabled if library is not compiled in debug mode) FYET_INFO Informational level FYET_NOTICE Notice level FYET_WARNING Warning level FYET_ERROR Error level - error reporting is using this level FYET_MAX Non inclusive maximum fy_error_type value enum fy_error_module enum fy_error_module Module which generated the diagnostic/error Definition enum fy_error_module { FYEM_UNKNOWN, FYEM_ATOM, FYEM_SCAN, FYEM_PARSE, FYEM_DOC, FYEM_BUILD, FYEM_INTERNAL, FYEM_SYSTEM, FYEM_EMIT, FYEM_TYPESET, FYEM_DECODE, FYEM_ENCODE, FYEM_REFLECTION, FYEM_MAX }; Constants FYEM_UNKNOWN Unknown, default if not specific FYEM_ATOM Atom module, used by atom chunking FYEM_SCAN Scanner module FYEM_PARSE Parser module FYEM_DOC Document module FYEM_BUILD Build document module (after tree is constructed) FYEM_INTERNAL Internal error/diagnostic module FYEM_SYSTEM System error/diagnostic module FYEM_EMIT Emitter module FYEM_TYPESET Prepare types module (C reflection) FYEM_DECODE Decode, serialization -> internal form module FYEM_ENCODE Encode, internal form -> serialized form module FYEM_REFLECTION Generic reflection module messages FYEM_MAX Non inclusive maximum fy_error_module value enum fy_parse_cfg_flags enum fy_parse_cfg_flags Parse configuration flags Definition enum fy_parse_cfg_flags { FYPCF_QUIET, FYPCF_COLLECT_DIAG, FYPCF_RESOLVE_DOCUMENT, FYPCF_DISABLE_MMAP_OPT, FYPCF_DISABLE_RECYCLING, FYPCF_PARSE_COMMENTS, FYPCF_DISABLE_DEPTH_LIMIT, FYPCF_DISABLE_ACCELERATORS, FYPCF_DISABLE_BUFFERING, FYPCF_DEFAULT_VERSION_AUTO, FYPCF_DEFAULT_VERSION_1_1, FYPCF_DEFAULT_VERSION_1_2, FYPCF_DEFAULT_VERSION_1_3, FYPCF_SLOPPY_FLOW_INDENTATION, FYPCF_PREFER_RECURSIVE, FYPCF_JSON_AUTO, FYPCF_JSON_NONE, FYPCF_JSON_FORCE, FYPCF_YPATH_ALIASES, FYPCF_ALLOW_DUPLICATE_KEYS }; Constants FYPCF_QUIET Quiet, do not output any information messages FYPCF_COLLECT_DIAG Collect diagnostic/error messages FYPCF_RESOLVE_DOCUMENT When producing documents, automatically resolve them FYPCF_DISABLE_MMAP_OPT Disable mmap optimization FYPCF_DISABLE_RECYCLING Disable recycling optimization FYPCF_PARSE_COMMENTS Enable parsing of comments (experimental) FYPCF_DISABLE_DEPTH_LIMIT Disable depth limit check, use with enlarged stack FYPCF_DISABLE_ACCELERATORS Disable use of access accelerators (saves memory) FYPCF_DISABLE_BUFFERING Disable use of buffering where possible FYPCF_DEFAULT_VERSION_AUTO Automatically use the most recent version the library supports FYPCF_DEFAULT_VERSION_1_1 Default version is YAML 1.1 FYPCF_DEFAULT_VERSION_1_2 Default version is YAML 1.2 FYPCF_DEFAULT_VERSION_1_3 Default version is YAML 1.3 (experimental) FYPCF_SLOPPY_FLOW_INDENTATION Allow sloppy indentation in flow mode FYPCF_PREFER_RECURSIVE Prefer recursive algorighms instead of iterative whenever possible FYPCF_JSON_AUTO Automatically enable JSON mode (when extension is .json) FYPCF_JSON_NONE Never enable JSON input mode FYPCF_JSON_FORCE Force JSON mode always FYPCF_YPATH_ALIASES Enable YPATH aliases mode FYPCF_ALLOW_DUPLICATE_KEYS Allow duplicate keys on mappings Description These flags control the operation of the parse and the debugging output/error reporting via filling in the fy_parse_cfg->flags member. struct fy_parse_cfg struct fy_parse_cfg parser configuration structure.

Note that this text is not NULL terminated. If you need a NULL terminated pointer use fy_token_get_text0(). In case that the token is `simple' enough (i.e. a plain scalar) or something similar the returned pointer is a direct pointer to the space of the input that contains the token. That means that the pointer is not guaranteed to be valid after the parser is destroyed. If the token is `complex' enough, then space shall be allocated, filled and returned. Note that the concept of `simple' and `complex' is vague, and that's on purpose.

Description This method will return a pointer to the text of a token which is zero terminated. It will allocate memory to hold it in the token structure so try to use fy_token_get_text() instead if possible. Return A pointer to a zero terminated text representation of the token.

Return The created event or NULL in case of an error PATH EXECUTION This header provides the ypath subsystem -- a JSONPath / XPath-like query language for navigating YAML document trees. A ypath expression such as /servers/0/host is first parsed into a compiled struct fy_path_expr and then executed against a starting node in any struct fy_document to produce a result set of matching nodes. Filter predicates and wildcards are also supported. Typical workflow: // 1. Create a path parser struct fy_path_parser *fypp = fy_path_parser_create(NULL); // 2. Compile an expression struct fy_path_expr *expr = fy_path_parse_expr_from_string(fypp, "/servers/0/host", -1); // 3. Create an executor and run the expression struct fy_path_exec *fypx = fy_path_exec_create(NULL); fy_path_exec_execute(fypx, expr, fy_document_root(fyd)); // 4. Iterate results void *iter = NULL; struct fy_node *fyn; while ((fyn = fy_path_exec_results_iterate(fypx, &iter)) != NULL) process(fyn); // 5. Cleanup fy_path_exec_destroy(fypx); fy_path_expr_free(expr); fy_path_parser_destroy(fypp); For one-shot use, fy_path_expr_build_from_string() wraps steps 1 and 2 into a single call. The executor can be reset and re-used for multiple executions against the same or different documents. The compiled expression is independent of any document and may be executed repeatedly. enum fy_path_parse_cfg_flags enum fy_path_parse_cfg_flags Path parse configuration flags Definition enum fy_path_parse_cfg_flags { FYPPCF_QUIET, FYPPCF_DISABLE_RECYCLING, FYPPCF_DISABLE_ACCELERATORS }; Constants FYPPCF_QUIET Quiet, do not output any information messages FYPPCF_DISABLE_RECYCLING Disable recycling optimization FYPPCF_DISABLE_ACCELERATORS Disable use of access accelerators (saves memory) Description These flags control the operation of the path parse struct fy_path_parse_cfg struct fy_path_parse_cfg path parser configuration structure.

DOCUMENT ITERATION This header provides struct fy_document_iterator, which traverses a document tree depth-first without using system stack recursion. Two usage modes are supported: Node iteration -- visit every node in a subtree in document order: struct fy_document_iterator *fydi = fy_document_iterator_create(); fy_document_iterator_node_start(fydi, fy_document_root(fyd)); struct fy_node *fyn; while ((fyn = fy_document_iterator_node_next(fydi)) != NULL) process(fyn); fy_document_iterator_destroy(fydi); Event replay -- regenerate the YAML event stream that produced the document, suitable for feeding into a parser, emitter, or composer: struct fy_document_iterator *fydi = fy_document_iterator_create_on_document(fyd); struct fy_event *fye; while ((fye = fy_document_iterator_generate_next(fydi)) != NULL) { process_event(fye); fy_document_iterator_event_free(fydi, fye); } fy_document_iterator_destroy(fydi); The iterator can also be attached to a struct fy_parser via fy_parser_set_document_iterator(), making a parser transparently replay the events of an existing document rather than parsing fresh input. Events emitted by the iterator are in the same order as those that originally created the document, so round-trip fidelity is preserved. enum fy_document_iterator_cfg_flags enum fy_document_iterator_cfg_flags Document iterator configuration flags Definition enum fy_document_iterator_cfg_flags { FYDICF_WANT_BODY_EVENTS, FYDICF_WANT_DOCUMENT_BODY_EVENTS, FYDICF_WANT_STREAM_DOCUMENT_BODY_EVENTS }; Constants FYDICF_WANT_BODY_EVENTS Generate body events FYDICF_WANT_DOCUMENT_BODY_EVENTS Generate document and body events FYDICF_WANT_STREAM_DOCUMENT_BODY_EVENTS Generate stream, document and body events Description These flags control the operation of the document iterator struct fy_document_iterator_cfg struct fy_document_iterator_cfg document iterator configuration structure.

Return 0 on success, -1 on error DOCUMENT BUILDER This header provides struct fy_document_builder, which accumulates YAML parser events and assembles them into a struct fy_document tree. The builder supports two operating modes: Pull mode -- the builder drives a parser internally: struct fy_document_builder *fydb = fy_document_builder_create_on_parser(fyp); struct fy_document *fyd; while ((fyd = fy_document_builder_load_document(fydb, fyp)) != NULL) { process(fyd); fy_document_destroy(fyd); } fy_document_builder_destroy(fydb); Push mode -- the caller feeds events one at a time and takes ownership when the document is complete: fy_document_builder_set_in_stream(fydb); struct fy_event *fye; while ((fye = get_next_event()) != NULL) { fy_document_builder_process_event(fydb, fye); if (fy_document_builder_is_document_complete(fydb)) { struct fy_document *fyd = fy_document_builder_take_document(fydb); process(fyd); fy_document_destroy(fyd); } } Push mode is useful when events arrive asynchronously or from a source other than a libfyaml parser, such as a document iterator or a network stream. fy_parse_load_document_with_builder() provides the simplest interface: a single call that returns the next complete document from a parser. struct fy_document_builder_cfg struct fy_document_builder_cfg document builder configuration structure.

Return 0 on success, -1 on error COMPOSER This header provides two complementary interfaces for processing YAML event streams with awareness of the current position in the document hierarchy, without committing to building a full in-memory tree. Simple callback interface -- fy_parse_compose() calls a user function for each event, passing both the event and the current struct fy_path so the callback can make intelligent decisions without maintaining its own path stack: enum fy_composer_return my_cb(struct fy_parser *fyp, struct fy_event *fye, struct fy_path *path, void *userdata) { if (fy_path_depth(path) > 3) return FYCR_OK_START_SKIP; process(fye); return FYCR_OK_CONTINUE; } fy_parse_compose(fyp, my_cb, ctx); Object-based interface -- struct fy_composer wraps the same mechanism in a reusable object with ops callbacks, optional document builder integration, and helpers for navigating the path hierarchy. Path inspection helpers -- functions such as fy_path_in_mapping(), fy_path_depth(), fy_path_component_is_sequence(), and the user-data attach/retrieve pairs let callbacks annotate and query the live path stack without any external bookkeeping. Callbacks control event processing by returning one of: o FYCR_OK_CONTINUE -- consume the event and continue o FYCR_OK_STOP -- consume the event and stop o FYCR_OK_START_SKIP -- start skipping the current subtree o FYCR_OK_STOP_SKIP -- stop an active skip and resume processing o FYCR_ERROR -- abort with an error enum fy_composer_return enum fy_composer_return The returns of the composer callback Definition enum fy_composer_return { FYCR_OK_CONTINUE, FYCR_OK_STOP, FYCR_OK_START_SKIP, FYCR_OK_STOP_SKIP, FYCR_ERROR }; Constants FYCR_OK_CONTINUE continue processing, event processed FYCR_OK_STOP stop processing, event processed FYCR_OK_START_SKIP start skip object(s), event processed FYCR_OK_STOP_SKIP stop skipping of objects, event processed FYCR_ERROR error, stop processing fy_composer_return_is_ok bool fy_composer_return_is_ok(enum fy_composer_return ret) Check if the return code is OK Parameters o ret (enum fy_composer_return) - the composer return to check Description Convenience method for checking if it's OK to continue Return true if non error or skip condition typedef fy_parse_composer_cb enum fy_composer_return fy_parse_composer_cb(struct fy_parser *fyp, struct fy_event *fye, struct fy_path *path, void *userdata) composer callback method Parameters o fyp (struct fy_parser*) - The parser o fye (struct fy_event*) - The event o path (struct fy_path*) - The path that the parser is processing o userdata (void*) - The user data of the fy_parse_compose() method Description This method is called by the fy_parse_compose() method when an event must be processed.
