"github_readme_excerpt": "# yaml-cpp  [](https://codedocs.xyz/jbeder/yaml-cpp/)\n\n`yaml-cpp` is a [YAML](http://www.yaml.org/) parser and emitter in C++ matching the [YAML 1.2 spec](http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html).\n\n## Usage\n\nSee [Tutorial](https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/wiki/Tutorial) and [How to Emit YAML](https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/wiki/How-To-Emit-YAML) for reference. For the old API (until 0.5.0), see [How To Parse A Document](https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/wiki/How-To-Parse-A-Document-(Old-API)).\n\n## Any Problems?\n\nIf you find a bug, post an [issue](https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/issues)! If you have questions about how to use yaml-cpp, please post it on http://stackoverflow.com and tag it [`yaml-cpp`](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/yaml-cpp).\n\n## How to Build\n\n`yaml-cpp` uses [CMake](http://www.cmake.org) to support cross-platform building. Install [CMake](http://www.cmake.org) _(Resources -\u003e Download)_ before proceeding. The basic steps to build are:\n\n**Note:** If you don\u0027t use the provided installer for your platform, make sure that you add `CMake`\u0027s bin folder to your path.\n\n#### 1. Navigate into the source directory, create build folder and run `CMake`:\n\n```sh\nmkdir build\ncd build\ncmake [-G generator] [-DYAML_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=on|OFF] ..\n```\n\n * The `generator` option is the build system you\u0027d like to use. Run `cmake` without arguments to see a full list of available generators.\n * On Windows, you might use \"Visual Studio 12 2013\" (VS 2013 32-bits), or \"Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64\" (VS 2015 64-bits).\n * On OS X, you might use \"Xcode\".\n * On a UNIX-like system, omit the option (for a Makefile).\n\n * `yaml-cpp` builds a static library by default, you may want to build a shared library by specifying `-DYAML_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON`.\n\n * [Debug mode of the GNU standard C++\n library](https://g",
