A .Net YAML library providing bindings for LibYAML

netyaml's Issues

Register types with the parser

Provide a mechanism to register a given type with a specified tag, providing a delegate to handle deserialization from the YAML node to the client type.

Serialization attributes

Add attributes that may be used to annotate a class/struct so that it can be automatically serialized to a YAML node with an appropriate tag.

Unit test coverage

There should be proper unit test coverage. Need to either get the existing (MSTest) unit test project working nicely with the native DLL (Visual Studio's integrated testing isn't deploying it properly), or replace it with some other unit test framework (probably a better option anyway if building with Mono is going to work).

Serialization interface

Specify an interface (IYamlSerializable or similar) that, when available, is used to serialize an object to a YAML node.

Build script

The project should have a proper build script rather than just a VS2008 solution. I'd quite like to use something generic and platform-independent, without too many dependencies, like make.

64-bit support

The solution is currently producing 32-bit code. There should be a platform-agnostic NetYaml assembly, with NetYamlNative varying depending on the architecture. Just a matter of build setup.

Memory usage testing

Come up with something that will test for memory leaks, either in LibYAML itself or in the managed interop code. Just to be confident it's not a problem.

YPath

YPath support would be nice. The spec isn't entirely clear yet, but it doesn't look too tough.
