As you can see, I'm trying to coerce some YAML::Node to get some unknown type:

Some context, In my day job, I'm working on a custom format that is based on yaml but extends it. We're still using C++, so we the used yaml-cpp as a base for our parser and it was great for that purpose. laying with rust on Advent of Code lately I also got sent back to reality... Not having rust enums, match, great string handling, iterators when working with my AST was hard. So I wanted to try to implement the same parser in Rust as an example to my teammates of how great rust can be.

yaml-cpp

Hi, this is a library (https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp), I tried to add it but unfortunately I can't, and I can't find any instructions.

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0.0) project(cmaketest VERSION 0.1.0) include(CTest) enable_testing() include(ExternalProject) ExternalProject_Add(yaml PREFIX 3rd_party GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/ INSTALL_COMMAND "" ) add_executable(cmaketest main.cpp) set(CPACK_PROJECT_NAME ${PROJECT_NAME}) set(CPACK_PROJECT_VERSION ${PROJECT_VERSION}) include(CPack)

I've found is yaml-cpp. The API seems fine

If you want a file format that has more readability, YAML is probably your best bet.

Can this not be parsed as YAML? (https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp)
