yaml-cpp VS RapidJSON

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)

Here's what I did: - I bought a theme that I liked, and used mstch as template engine (matched the theme's template format) - Imported rapidjson for parsing JSON, and used mstch for generating JSON (the JSON I generate is simple enough that I can do this) - Wrote an HTTP handler class for each page that handles the GET and POST requests, generating HTML or JSON depending on the request

And documentation in most cases is more user-friendly if you will use something like MkDocs(based on Markdown), example http://rapidjson.org/

Use RapidJSON https://rapidjson.org/

It seems not super widely used compared to other famous libraries like RapidJSON, nlohmann-json, or simdjson. But it seems the author is very active in developing this project which can mitigate this "lack of community" issue.

have a look at rapidjson for a a nice simple json framework https://rapidjson.org/ I use it and it's quite fast and as good as anything I used in python.

So I just cloned https://github.com/Tencent/rapidjson to see what is the current status. At compile time they check if the C++ compiler supports the "noexcept" keyword, and if so they define RAPIDJSON_NOEXCEPT to be "noexcept". Throughout the implementation, RAPIDJSON_NOEXCEPT is added to quite a few function declarations (about a hundred of them).

RapidJSON is also excellent, like fantastic when performance matters. Not sure there's a much faster JSON implementation anywhere, and I've written my own SAX-style parser as a fun, hobby project for C++.
