Introduction

What is compat-golang-gopkg-2-yaml-devel

The yaml package enables Go programs to comfortably encode and decode YAML values. It was developed within Canonical as part of the juju project, and is based on a pure Go port of the well-known libyaml C library to parse and generate YAML data quickly and reliably. The yaml package supports most of YAML 1.1 and 1.2, including support for anchors, tags, map merging, etc. Multi-document unmarshalling is not yet implemented, and base-60 floats from YAML 1.1 are purposefully not supported since they’re a poor design and are gone in YAML 1.2. This package provides symbolic links that alias the following Go import paths to gopkg.in/yaml.v2 – gopkg.in/v2/yaml Aliasing Go import paths via symbolic links or http redirects is fragile. If your Go code depends on this package, you should patch it to import directly gopkg.in/yaml.v2.
