Modern yaml library with clear docs

  JSON for Modern C++

I guess this is the one time when writing your own parser wouldn't be such a bad thing... And since yaml is superset of json, maybe adding yaml support to good json library, like https://github.com/nlohmann/json would be possible.

  A YAML parser and emitter in C++

I've searched around, and the only thing I've found is yaml-cpp. The API seems fine, but I'm not satisfied with the docs. There's a little tutorial which covers most of the stuff that I'd want to know; but it doesn't properly address error handling. I'm not going to use a library if I don't know what it does in the case of an error! As far as I can find, the only docs are the tutorial, and an api reference which is difficult to navigate, and doesn't seem to have much meaningful information. There is also an 'old tutorial', which seem to refer to an older version of yaml-cpp; and so presumably it isn't relevant any longer.
