yamole 2.1.7

A YAML parser that resolves JSON references

yamole

Dig through the JSON references inside a YAML file, the kind of situation you may run into when parsing OpenAPI files.

The result is a single, big YAML file with all the references resolved (i.e. with their contents replaced in the corresponding places).

yamole also includes small features that help you parse OpenAPI files, like combining all the elements in an allOf key into a single object.

Installation

yamole is available as a PyPI module, so you can install it using pip:

$ pip install yamole

Usage

Using yamole is pretty straightforward. The parser is available through the YamoleParser class:

with open('input_file.yaml') as file:
    parser = YamoleParser(file,
        merge_allof=False,  # Combine allOfs into single dicts and disable
                            # inheritance for "example" keys (def: True)
        max_depth=314)  # Allow a maximum of 314 nesting levels (def: 1000)

output_str = parser.dumps()

parser.data['some-key']  # The dict with the parsed file's structure

Testing

To test that yamole works properly, you can run:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python tests/test.py

This will run the parser against a specific test case that makes use of all of yamole's features, and will compare the result with a fixture (tests/expected.yaml).
