Read YAML data — yaml

If the yaml package is installed, use yaml::yaml.load() to read the data. If not, use the simple parser taml_load() instead.

yaml_load(
  x,
  ...,
  handlers = NULL,
  envir = parent.frame(),
  use_yaml = loadable("yaml")
)

Arguments

x: A character vector of YAML data.
..., handlers: Arguments to be passed to yaml::yaml.load().
envir: The environment in which R expressions in YAML are evaluated. To disable the evaluation, use envir = FALSE.
use_yaml: Whether to use the yaml package.

Value

An R object (typically a list).

Note

R expressions in YAML will be returned as expressions when they are not evaluated. This is different with yaml::yaml.load(), which returns character strings for expressions.

Examples

yaml_load("a: 1")
#> $a
#> [1] 1
#> 
yaml_load("a: 1", use_yaml = FALSE)
#> $a
#> [1] 1
#>
