Functions

func JSONToYAML

func JSONToYAML(j []byte) ([]byte, error)

Convert JSON to YAML.

func Marshal

func Marshal(o interface{}) ([]byte, error)

Marshals the object into JSON then converts JSON to YAML and returns the YAML.

func Unmarshal

func Unmarshal(y []byte, o interface{}) error

Converts YAML to JSON then uses JSON to unmarshal into an object.

func YAMLToJSON

func YAMLToJSON(y []byte) ([]byte, error)

Convert YAML to JSON. Since JSON is a subset of YAML, passing JSON through this method should be a no-op.

Things YAML can do that are not supported by JSON:

• In YAML you can have binary and null keys in your maps. These are invalid in JSON. (int and float keys are converted to strings.)
• Binary data in YAML with the !!binary tag is not supported. If you want to use binary data with this library, encode the data as base64 as usual but do not use the !!binary tag in your YAML. This will ensure the original base64 encoded data makes it all the way through to the JSON.
