Description
It would be nice to allow users to provide YAML files that can directly be parsed into some structs. E.g., it would be nice to parse
My Complex: 1.0 + 3i
My Int Pairs: [ P(1,2), P(0,1)]
directly into a std::complex
and a std::vector<std::pair<int,int>>
respectively. Even more interesting/useful would be to parse straight into enums, so that one can do
auto plist = parse_yaml_file("blah.yaml");
MyEnum value = plist.get<MyEnum>("The Enum");
...
without having to tediously do string->enum conversion every time.
To do this, we should put the is_type<T>
and str2type<T>
functions into a separate file. Then, somehow, allow the user to provide its own specializations (along with operator<<
for writing, if writing/print is needed). One way could be to have a "database" of these functions, and let the user register its own functions at any point before calling the YAML parse/write routines.
