pyyhkeen

pyyhkeen is a Python library for YAML data processing designed for configuration management and data interchange. It aims to be a safer, more predictable alternative to existing YAML tools, with a focus on clear error reporting and minimal dependencies.

The library provides a safe loader and dumper, streaming parsing, and support for common YAML features such as anchors and aliases. It emphasizes deterministic behavior and offers explicit tag handling, round-trip YAML emission and options to preserve ordering of mappings.

pyyhkeen was released in 2023 by an independent group of Python developers. It is hosted on GitHub under an open-source license. The project maintains a public issue tracker and a test suite, and encourages community contributions.

Rated for Python 3.8 and later, pyyhkeen can be installed via package managers and integrates with configuration workflows, data pipelines, and testing tools. It interoperates with PyYAML and ruamel.yaml by providing a compatible API surface.

The project emphasizes safety, portability, and clarity in YAML handling.
