WORK IN PROGESS

This project is currently quite fluid and breaking changes may be introduced at any time - use with caution! I hope to stabilise it by early 2022.

There are so many questions on Stack Overflow and other sites related to the parsing of CloudFormation Templates in .NET. This is a problem I really wanted to solve once and for all, as I have several other repos here that have half-cocked CloudFormation support, and this package will be gradually integrated into them. This integration work is the cause of the fluidity of this project as I keep running into new requirements that sometime involve fairly major refactorings.

I set out to solve the five main issues I see with parsing CloudFormation effectively, plus I wanted to be able to understand the dependency relationship between objects declared in a template. Should you for instance want to create a CloudFormation Linter, most of what you would need is here.

Using this library, templates may be parsed from a number of sources, currently:

• A string
• A file
• A stream
• From a deployed CloudFormation Stack
• From a template stored in S3

Supports Source Link (using dedicated symbol packages)

To get it working you need to:

• Uncheck option "Enable Just My Code"
• Add the NuGet symbol server (https://symbols.nuget.org/download/symbols)
• Check option "Enable Source Link support"
