YAML::PullParser - Crystal 1.10.1

# class YAML::PullParser

- YAML::PullParser
- Reference
- Object

##
Overview

A pull parser allows parsing a YAML document by events.

When creating an instance, the parser is positioned in the first event. To get the event kind invoke `#kind`. If the event is a scalar you can invoke `#value` to get its string value. Other methods like `#tag`, `#anchor` and `#scalar_style` let you inspect other information from events.

Invoking `#read_next` reads the next event.

Constructors

- .new(content : String | IO)
- .new(content, &)

  Creates a parser, yields it to the block, and closes the parser at the end of it.

##
Instance Method Summary

- #anchor : String | Nil

  Returns the anchor associated to the current event, or `nil` if there's no anchor.

- #close : Nil
- #end_column : Int32
- #end_line : Int32
- #expect_kind(kind : EventKind) : Nil

  Raises if the current kind is not the expected one.

- #finalize
- #kind : EventKind

  The current event kind.

- #location : Tuple(Int32, Int32)
- #mapping_style : MappingStyle

  Returns the mapping style, assuming the pull parser is located at a mapping begin event.

- #raise(msg : String, line_number = self.start_line, column_number = self.start_column, context_info = nil) : NoReturn
- #read(expected_kind : EventKind) : EventKind

  Reads an expected event kind.

- #read_alias : String | Nil

  Reads an alias event, returning its anchor.

- #read_document(&)

  Reads a "document start" event, yields to the block, and then reads a "document end" event.

- #read_document_end

  Reads a "document end" event.

- #read_document_start

  Reads a "document start" event.

- #read_mapping(&)

  Reads a "mapping start" event, yields to the block, and then reads a "mapping end" event.

- #read_mapping_end

  Reads a "mapping end" event.

- #read_mapping_start

  Reads a "mapping start" event.

- #read_next : EventKind

  Reads the next event.

- #read_scalar : String

  Reads a scalar, returning its value.

- #read_sequence(&)

  Reads a "sequence start" event, yields to the block, and then reads a "sequence end" event.

- #read_sequence_end

  Reads a "sequence end" event.

- #read_sequence_start

  Reads a "sequence start" event.

- #read_stream(&)

  Reads a "stream start" event, yields to the block, and then reads a "stream end" event.

- #read_stream_end

  Reads a "stream end" event.

- #read_stream_start

  Reads a "stream start" event.

- #scalar_style : ScalarStyle

  Returns the scalar style, assuming the pull parser is located at a scalar event.

- #sequence_style : SequenceStyle

  Returns the sequence style, assuming the pull parser is located at a sequence begin event.

- #skip : YAML::EventKind
- #start_column : Int32
- #start_line : Int32
- #tag : String | Nil

  Returns the tag associated to the current event, or `nil` if there's no tag.

- #value : String

  Returns the scalar value, assuming the pull parser is located at a scalar.
