Deserializing Unity YAML

[andreykhorkov]

Hi. I'd like to use the library to deserialize Unity's material *.mat files which are Unity YAML. They have some information that library can't recognize as valid YAML. At least I don't know how to do it with the library yet.

.mat files starts with something like this:

%YAML 1.1
%TAG !u! tag:unity3d.com,2011:
--- !u!21 &2100000
Material:
  serializedVersion: 6

I could procedurally delete first 3 lines from it and add "---" to the beginning, but is there a better way of doing it?

This code deserialized your yaml into an object.

        public void DeserializeUnityTags()
        {
            var yaml = @"%YAML 1.1
%TAG !u! tag:unity3d.com,2011:
--- !u!21 &2100000
Material:
  serializedVersion: 6";
            var deserializer = new DeserializerBuilder()
                .WithTagMapping(new YamlDotNet.Core.TagName("tag:unity3d.com,2011:21"), typeof(Unity))
                .Build();
            var result = deserializer.Deserialize<Unity>(yaml);

        }

        public class Unity
        {
            public Mat Material { get; set; }
            public class Mat
            {
                [YamlMember(Alias = "serializedVersion")]
                public int SerializedVersion { get; set; }
            }
        }

I'm closing this issue. Let me know if you have any further questions.
