Welcome to the UnrealYAML Plugin, a Plugin that allows the parsing and emitting of YAML files, based on the yaml-cpp Library

Current yaml-cpp base commit: 328d2d8

Important Node: The Plugin is far from finished and needs more testing, bug fixing and features to become fully usable and to work natively in Unreal! Feel free to contribute

• Basic Functionality
  • Assigment
  • Convers Conversion to and from most frequently used Unreal Types
  • Iterators
  • Loading and Saving Files
• Usable in Blueprint and C++
• Automatic Parsing to Unreal Struct using the Unreal Reflection System.

• Node into Struct Parsing:
  • With Blueprint Structs (if possible)
  • Option to respect case on key values (currently always case insensitive)
  • Add Map Parsing
  • Parse Struct into Node (Reverse Direction)
• Sequences and Maps into TArray<Node> and TMap<FString, Node> for Iteration in Blueprints
• Interfacing with Unreal JSON Plugin?
• Wrapper class for the Emitter?
• Schema Verification?

You can find some examples in the corresponding wiki page. Since this is a thin wrapper around the yaml-cpp library, many of the things in their wiki can also be applied to this Plugin too.

I used some patches ontop of the yaml-cpp library to ease the integration:

• enum-class: Changed enums to enum classes to remove -Wshadow error
