yaml-cpp parsing strings

Question

Is it possible to parse YAML formatted strings with yaml-cpp?

There isn't a YAML::Parser::Parser(std::string&) constructor. (I'm getting a YAML string via libcurl from a http-server.)

Answer 1

Try using a stringstream:

std::string s = "name: YAML from libcurl";
std::stringstream ss(s);
YAML::Parser parser(ss);
