Support YAML 1.2 spec

[aaron-meyers]

The YAML 1.2 spec makes minor changes to bring YAML into compliance with JSON as an official subset. My team has started using your YAML library and is interested in further usage but JSON compatibility is an important feature for us. We would like to see the YamlDotNet library updated to support YAML 1.2 (and may be able to do this work ourselves if there are no objections).

Any update on the support for 1.2?

Hi. Was there any conclusion to this question (as to whether support for YAML 1.2 is on the roadmap)? It seems that #2053 doesn't answer to support of YAML 1.2 but rather on it's support as a default. If I misread, please let me know. If not, could you please clarify if support for 1.2 (even if via explicit %YAML 1.2 or config of the library on deserialization)? Thx

This library intends to support YAML 1.2. It already passes many of the official tests and in terms of syntax, it should be mostly compliant. Work on schemas has been started, but is not yet complete.

Any word on progress?

This library passes all of the official yaml tests that the yaml.org site has created. It should be fully compliant. If you find any issues, then please open a new issue and we'll address them.

I'm going to close this issue for now. If you have any additional comments or questions go ahead and re-open it.

Yaml 1.2 compliance would require schema support, which was never completed. I don't think this should be closed.

schema support

That is 100% my motivation for using this new version.

[EdwardCooke]

I’ll work on schema support once I get through all of the open issues. I’m concentrating on getting bugs fixed to stabilize the library and current feature set and then I’ll work on adding new features like this.

I reopened the issue so we don’t lose it.

Ping about one year later. Any progress?

I would also like to know if 1.2 is going to be supported by the emitter anytime soon?
