StrictYAML is a type-safe YAML parser that parses and validates a restricted subset of the YAML specification. Priorities: * Beautiful API. * Refusing to parse the ugly, hard to read and insecure features of YAML like the Norway problem. * Strict validation of markup and straightforward type casting. * Clear, readable exceptions with code snippets and line numbers. * Acting as a near-drop in replacement for pyyaml, ruamel.yaml or poyo. * Ability to read in YAML, make changes and write it out again with comments preserved. * Not speed, currently.
