A Powershell module to convert YAML documents to and from PowerShell objects

PSYaml

Build Status

Branch	Status
Master

Introduction

This module will help users convert from/to YAML. For more information see the documentation or the legacy documentation.

Please note that the Master branch has the latest, ready-for-production version. The release/stage branch is the holding ground for master merges where integration testing will take place. Other branches with active development will be denoted by having a prefix ( feature/, bugfix/, release/, etc) followed by an unique identifier. Nothing is merged into release/stage branch without code review, and only code that passes testing in the release/stage branch will be merged into master.

Features

• Fancy Logo
• Bundled binary
• Pester Testing
