rustHow to read YAML from string in Rust

Reading YAML from string in Rust can be done using the serde_yaml crate.

Example code:

use serde_yaml;

let yaml_str = "
key1: value1
key2: value2
";

let data: serde_yaml::Value = serde_yaml::from_str(yaml_str).unwrap();

println!("{:#?}", data);

Output example

Object({
    key1: String("value1"),
    key2: String("value2"),
})

Code parts:

• use serde_yaml;: imports the serde_yaml crate
• let yaml_str = "...";: creates a string containing YAML data
• let data: serde_yaml::Value = serde_yaml::from_str(yaml_str).unwrap();: parses the YAML string into a serde_yaml::Value
• println!("{:#?}", data);: prints the parsed data in a human-readable format
