# yaml-cpp [](https://travis-ci.org/jbeder/yaml-cpp) [](https://codedocs.xyz/jbeder/yaml-cpp/)
|

|

yaml-cpp is a [YAML](http://www.yaml.org/) parser and emitter in C++ matching the [YAML 1.2 spec](http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html).

`yaml-cpp` is a [YAML](http://www.yaml.org/) parser and emitter in C++ matching the [YAML 1.2 spec](http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html).

To get a feel for how it can be used, see the [Tutorial](https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/wiki/Tutorial) or [How to Emit YAML](https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/wiki/How-To-Emit-YAML). For the old API (version < 0.5.0), see [How To Parse A Document](https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/wiki/How-To-Parse-A-Document-(Old-API)).

## How to Build
|
||||
|
||||
yaml-cpp uses [CMake](http://www.cmake.org) to support cross-platform building. The basic steps to build are:
|
||||
`yaml-cpp` uses [CMake](http://www.cmake.org) to support cross-platform building. Install [CMake](http://www.cmake.org) _(Resources -> Download)_ before proceeding. The basic steps to build are:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Download and install [CMake](http://www.cmake.org) (Resources -> Download).
|
||||
**Note:** If you don't use the provided installer for your platform, make sure that you add `CMake`'s bin folder to your path.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** If you don't use the provided installer for your platform, make sure that you add CMake's bin folder to your path.
|
||||
#### 1. Navigate into the source directory, create build folder and run `CMake`:
|
||||
|
||||
2. Navigate into the source directory, and type:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
mkdir build
|
||||
cd build
|
||||
cmake [-G generator] [-YAML_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=on|OFF] ..
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. Run CMake. The basic syntax is:
|
||||
* The `generator` option is the build system you'd like to use. Run `cmake` without arguments to see a full list of available generators.
|
||||
* On Windows, you might use "Visual Studio 12 2013" (VS 2013 32-bits), or "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" (VS 2015 64-bits).
|
||||
* On OS X, you might use "Xcode".
|
||||
* On a UNIX-like system, omit the option (for a Makefile).
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cmake [-G generator] [-DYAML_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON|OFF] ..
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* The `generator` is whatever type of build system you'd like to use. To see a full list of generators on your platform, just run `cmake` (with no arguments). For example:
|
||||
* On Windows, you might use "Visual Studio 12 2013" to generate a Visual Studio 2013 solution or "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" to generate a 64-bit Visual Studio 2015 solution.
|
||||
* On OS X, you might use "Xcode" to generate an Xcode project
|
||||
* On a UNIX-y system, simply omit the option to generate a makefile
|
||||
|
||||
* yaml-cpp defaults to building a static library, but you may build a shared library by specifying `-DYAML_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON`.
|
||||
* `yaml-cpp` builds a static library by default, you may want to build a shared library by specifying `-YAML_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON`.
|
||||
|
||||
* For more options on customizing the build, see the [CMakeLists.txt](https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt) file.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Build it!
|
||||
#### 2. Build it!
|
||||
* The command you'll need to run depends on the generator you chose earlier.
|
||||
|
||||
5. To clean up, just remove the `build` directory.
|
||||
**Note:** To clean up, just remove the `build` directory.
