Is there a YAML test suite?

A comprehensive test suite would be a valuable tool to have, especially when evaluating all of the variant parsers out there. Does such a beast exist?

In a perfect world, I imagine it would have different sections for different versions of the YAML spec...

Solution

  • There is currently one in the making, see here.

    We also generate a result matrix for YAML implementations which

    • we know of
    • are written in a language we know so we can implement adapter code to validate the test suite against it

    Full disclosure: I am the author of NimYAML and some of the test cases and adapters.
