# NimYAML - YAML implementation in Nim
# (c) Copyright 2015 Felix Krause
#
# See the file "copying.txt", included in this
# distribution, for details about the copyright.
## This module provides facilities to generate and interpret
## `YAML <http://yaml.org>`_ character streams. All primitive operations on
## data objects use a `YamlStream <#YamlStream>`_ either as source or as
## output. Because this stream is implemented as iterator, it is possible to
## process YAML input and output sequentially, i.e. without loading the
## processed data structure completely into RAM. This supports the processing of
## large data structures.
##
## As YAML is a strict superset of `JSON <http://json.org>`_, JSON input is
## automatically supported. While JSON is less readable than YAML,
## this enhances interoperability with other languages.

TypeHint* = enum
## A type hint can be computed from scalar content and tells you what
## NimYAML thinks the scalar's type is. It is generated by
## `guessType <#guessType,string>`_ The first matching RegEx
## in the following table will be the type hint of a scalar string.
##
## You can use it to determine the type of YAML scalars that have a '?'
## non-specific tag, but using this feature is completely optional.

TagId* = distinct int ## \
## A ``TagId`` identifies a tag URI, like for example
## ``"tag:yaml.org,2002:str"``. The URI corresponding to a ``TagId`` can
## be queried from the `TagLibrary <#TagLibrary>`_ which was
## used to create this ``TagId``; e.g. when you parse a YAML character
## stream, the ``TagLibrary`` of the parser is the one which generates
## the resulting ``TagId`` s.
##
## URI strings are mapped to ``TagId`` s for efficiency reasons (you
## do not need to compare strings every time) and to be able to
## discover unknown tag URIs early in the parsing process.
AnchorId* = distinct int ## \
## An ``AnchorId`` identifies an anchor in the current document. It
## becomes invalid as soon as the current document scope is invalidated
## (for example, because the parser yielded a ``yamlEndDocument``
## event). ``AnchorId`` s exists because of efficiency, much like
## ``TagId`` s. The actual anchor name is a presentation detail and
## cannot be queried by the user.
YamlStreamEvent* = object
## An element from a `YamlStream <#YamlStream>`_. Events that start an
## object (``yamlStartMap``, ``yamlStartSeq``, ``yamlScalar``) have
## an optional anchor and a tag associated with them. The anchor will be
## set to ``yAnchorNone`` if it doesn't exist.
##
## A non-existing tag in the YAML character stream will be resolved to
## the non-specific tags ``?`` or ``!`` according to the YAML
## specification. These are by convention mapped to the ``TagId`` s
## ``yTagQuestionMark`` and ``yTagExclamationMark`` respectively.
## Mapping is done by a `TagLibrary <#TagLibrary>`_.

## ``yamlStartDoc`` is terminated by a ``yamlEndDoc``. Moreover, every
## emitted mapping has an even number of children.
##
## The creator of a ``YamlStream`` is responsible for it being
## well-formed. A user of the stream may assume that it is well-formed
## and is not required to check for it. The procs in this module will
## always yield a well-formed ``YamlStream`` and expect it to be

## - ``ypsCanonical``: Canonical YAML output. Writes all tags except
## for the non-specific tags ``?`` and ``!``, uses flow style, quotes
## all string scalars.
## - ``ypsDefault``: Tries to be as human-readable as possible. Uses
## block style by default, but tries to condense mappings and
## sequences which only contain scalar nodes into a single line using
## flow style.
## - ``ypsJson``: Omits the ``%YAML`` directive and the ``---``
## marker. Uses flow style. Flattens anchors and aliases, omits tags.
## Output will be parseable as JSON. ``YamlStream`` to dump may only
## contain one document.

AnchorStyle* = enum
## How ref object should be serialized.
##
## - ``asNone``: No anchors will be outputted. Values present at

## fully serialized at every occurence. If the content is cyclic, this
## will lead to an endless loop!
## - ``asTidy``: Anchors will only be generated for objects that
## actually occur more than once in the content to be serialized.
## This is a bit slower and needs more memory than ``asAlways``.
## - ``asAlways``: Achors will be generated for every ref object in the
## content to be serialized, regardless of whether the object is
## referenced again afterwards
asNone, asTidy, asAlways
NewLineStyle* = enum
## What kind of newline sequence is used when presenting.

YamlParserError* = object of YamlLoadingError
## A parser error is raised if the character stream that is parsed is
## not a valid YAML character stream. This stream cannot and will not be
## parsed wholly nor partially and all events that have been emitted by
## the YamlStream the parser provides should be discarded.
##
## A character stream is invalid YAML if and only if at least one of the
## following conditions apply:
##
## - There are invalid characters in an element whose contents is
## restricted to a limited set of characters. For example, there are
## characters in a tag URI which are not valid URI characters.
## - An element has invalid indentation. This can happen for example if
## a block list element indicated by ``"- "`` is less indented than
## the element in the previous line, but there is no block sequence
## list open at the same indentation level.
## - The YAML structure is invalid. For example, an explicit block map
## indicated by ``"? "`` and ``": "`` may not suddenly have a block
## sequence item (``"- "``) at the same indentation level. Another
## possible violation is closing a flow style object with the wrong
## closing character (``}``, ``]``) or not closing it at all.
## - A custom tag shorthand is used that has not previously been
## declared with a ``%TAG`` directive.
## - Multiple tags or anchors are defined for the same node.
## - An alias is used which does not map to any anchor that has
## previously been declared in the same document.
## - An alias has a tag or anchor associated with it.
##
## Some elements in this list are vague. For a detailed description of a
## valid YAML character stream, see the YAML specification.
YamlPresenterJsonError* = object of Exception
## Exception that may be raised by the YAML presenter when it is

## parsing, because otherwise this information is not available to the
