module Psych Overview

Psych is a YAML parser and emitter. Psych leverages libyaml [Home page: pyyaml.org/wiki/LibYAML] or [HG repo: bitbucket.org/xi/libyaml] for its YAML parsing and emitting capabilities. In addition to wrapping libyaml, Psych also knows how to serialize and de-serialize most Ruby objects to and from the YAML format.

Psych.load("--- foo") 


Psych.dump("foo")     
{ :a => 'b'}.to_yaml

YAML Parsing

Psych provides a range of interfaces for parsing a YAML document ranging from low level to high level, depending on your parsing needs. At the lowest level, is an event based parser. Mid level is access to the raw YAML AST, and at the highest level is the ability to unmarshal YAML to Ruby objects.

YAML Emitting

Psych provides a range of interfaces ranging from low to high level for producing YAML documents. Very similar to the YAML parsing interfaces, Psych provides at the lowest level, an event based system, mid-level is building a YAML AST, and the highest level is converting a Ruby object straight to a YAML document.

High-level API Parsing

The high level YAML parser provided by Psych simply takes YAML as input and returns a Ruby data structure. For information on using the high level parser see Psych.load

Reading from a string
Psych.safe_load("--- a")             
Psych.safe_load("---\n - a\n - b")   

Psych.load("--- !ruby/range\nbegin: 0\nend: 42\nexcl: false\n") 
Reading from a file
Psych.safe_load_file("data.yml", permitted_classes: [Date])
Psych.load_file("trusted_database.yml")
Exception handling
begin
  
  Psych.parse("--- `", "file.txt")
rescue Psych::SyntaxError => ex
  ex.file    
  ex.message 
end
Emitting

The high level emitter has the easiest interface. Psych simply takes a Ruby data structure and converts it to a YAML document. See Psych.dump for more information on dumping a Ruby data structure.

Writing to a string
Psych.dump(['a', 'b'])  


Psych.dump(['a', 'b'], StringIO.new)  


Psych.dump(['a', ['b']], :indentation => 3) 


Psych.dump(['a', ['b']], StringIO.new, :indentation => 3)
Writing to a file

Currently there is no direct API for dumping Ruby structure to file:

File.open('database.yml', 'w') do |file|
  file.write(Psych.dump(['a', 'b']))
end
Mid-level API Parsing

Psych provides access to an AST produced from parsing a YAML document. This tree is built using the Psych::Parser and Psych::TreeBuilder. The AST can be examined and manipulated freely. Please see Psych::parse_stream, Psych::Nodes, and Psych::Nodes::Node for more information on dealing with YAML syntax trees.

Reading from a string
Psych.parse_stream("---\n - a\n - b")


Psych.parse("---\n - a\n - b")
Reading from a file
Psych.parse_stream(File.read('database.yml'))


Psych.parse_file('database.yml')
Exception handling
begin
  
  Psych.parse("--- `", "file.txt")
rescue Psych::SyntaxError => ex
  ex.file    
  ex.message 
end
Emitting

At the mid level is building an AST. This AST is exactly the same as the AST used when parsing a YAML document. Users can build an AST by hand and the AST knows how to emit itself as a YAML document. See Psych::Nodes, Psych::Nodes::Node, and Psych::TreeBuilder for more information on building a YAML AST.

Writing to a string
stream = Psych.parse_stream("---\n - a\n - b")

stream.to_yaml 
Writing to a file
stream = Psych.parse_stream(File.read('database.yml'))

File.open('database.yml', 'w') do |file|
  file.write(stream.to_yaml)
end
Low-level API Parsing

The lowest level parser should be used when the YAML input is already known, and the developer does not want to pay the price of building an AST or automatic detection and conversion to Ruby objects. See Psych::Parser for more information on using the event based parser.

Reading to Psych::Nodes::Stream structure
parser = Psych::Parser.new(TreeBuilder.new) 
parser = Psych.parser                       

parser.parse("---\n - a\n - b")             
parser.handler                              
parser.handler.root                         
Receiving an events stream
recorder = Psych::Handlers::Recorder.new
parser = Psych::Parser.new(recorder)

parser.parse("---\n - a\n - b")
recorder.events 
                
                
Emitting

The lowest level emitter is an event based system. Events are sent to a Psych::Emitter object. That object knows how to convert the events to a YAML document. This interface should be used when document format is known in advance or speed is a concern. See Psych::Emitter for more information.

Writing to a Ruby structure
Psych.parser.parse("--- a")       

parser.handler.first              
parser.handler.first.to_ruby      

parser.handler.root.first         
parser.handler.root.first.to_ruby 


Psych::Visitors::ToRuby.new.accept(parser.handler.root.first)

Public Class Methods

dump(o) → string of yaml click to toggle source

dump(o, options) → string of yaml

dump(o, io) → io object passed in

dump(o, io, options) → io object passed in

Dump Ruby object o to a YAML string. Optional options may be passed in to control the output format. If an IO object is passed in, the YAML will be dumped to that IO object.

Currently supported options are:

:indentation

Number of space characters used to indent. Acceptable value should be in 0..9 range, otherwise option is ignored.

Default: 2.

:line_width

Max character to wrap line at.

Default: 0 (meaning “wrap at 81”).

:canonical

Write “canonical” YAML form (very verbose, yet strictly formal).

Default: false.

:header

Write %YAML [version] at the beginning of document.

Default: false.

Example:

Psych.dump(['a', 'b'])  


Psych.dump(['a', 'b'], StringIO.new)  


Psych.dump(['a', ['b']], indentation: 3) 


Psych.dump(['a', ['b']], StringIO.new, indentation: 3)
def self.dump o, io = nil, options = {}
  if Hash === io
    options = io
    io      = nil
  end

  visitor = Psych::Visitors::YAMLTree.create options
  visitor << o
  visitor.tree.yaml io, options
end

dump_stream(*objects) click to toggle source

Dump a list of objects as separate documents to a document stream.

Example:

Psych.dump_stream("foo\n  ", {})

Psych.parse("---\n - a\n - b") 

begin
  Psych.parse("--- `", filename: "file.txt")
rescue Psych::SyntaxError => ex
  ex.file    
  ex.message 
end

If a block is given, a Psych::Nodes::Document node will be yielded to the block as it's being parsed.

Raises a Psych::SyntaxError when a YAML syntax error is detected.

Example:

Psych.parse_stream("---\n - a\n - b") 

Psych.parse_stream("--- a\n--- b") do |node|
  node

safe_load(yaml, legacy_permitted_classes = NOT_GIVEN, legacy_permitted_symbols = NOT_GIVEN, legacy_aliases = NOT_GIVEN, legacy_filename = NOT_GIVEN, permitted_classes: [], permitted_symbols: [], aliases: false, filename: nil, fallback: nil, symbolize_names: false, freeze: false) click to toggle source

Safely load the yaml string in yaml. By default, only the following classes are allowed to be deserialized:

Recursive data structures are not allowed by default. Arbitrary classes can be allowed by adding those classes to the permitted_classes keyword argument. They are additive. For example, to allow Date deserialization:

Psych.safe_load(yaml, permitted_classes: [Date])

Now the Date class can be loaded in addition to the classes listed above.

Aliases can be explicitly allowed by changing the aliases keyword argument. For example:

x = []
x << x
yaml = Psych.dump x
Psych.safe_load yaml               
Psych.safe_load yaml, aliases: true 

A Psych::DisallowedClass exception will be raised if the yaml contains a class that isn't in the permitted_classes list.

A Psych::BadAlias exception will be raised if the yaml contains aliases but the aliases keyword argument is set to false.

filename will be used in the exception message if any exception is raised while parsing.

When the optional symbolize_names keyword argument is set to a true value, returns symbols for keys in Hash objects (default: strings).

Psych.safe_load("---\n foo: bar")                         
Psych.safe_load("---\n foo: bar", symbolize_names: true)

end

safe_load_file(filename, **kwargs) click to toggle source

Safely loads the document contained in filename. Returns the yaml contained in filename as a Ruby object, or if the file is empty, it returns the specified fallback return value, which defaults to false. See safe_load for options.

def self.safe_load_file filename, **kwargs
  File.open(filename, 'r:bom|utf-8') { |f|
    self.safe_load f, filename: filename, **kwargs
  }
end

  visitor.tree.yaml
end

unsafe_load(yaml, legacy_filename = NOT_GIVEN, filename: nil, fallback: false, symbolize_names: false, freeze: false) click to toggle source

Load yaml in to a Ruby data structure. If multiple documents are provided, the object contained in the first document will be returned. filename will be used in the exception message if any exception is raised while parsing. If yaml is empty, it returns the specified fallback return value, which defaults to false.

Raises a Psych::SyntaxError when a YAML syntax error is detected.

Example:

Psych.load("--- a")             
Psych.load("---\n - a\n - b")   

begin
  Psych.load("--- `", filename: "file.txt")
rescue Psych::SyntaxError => ex
  ex.file    
  ex.message 
end

When the optional symbolize_names keyword argument is set to a true value, returns symbols for keys in Hash objects (default: strings).

Psych.load("---\n foo: bar")                         
Psych.load("---\n foo: bar", symbolize_names: true)  

Raises a TypeError when `yaml` parameter is NilClass

NOTE: This method *should not* be used to parse untrusted documents, such as YAML documents that are supplied via user input. Instead, please use the safe_load method.
