How to get parse to throw Error when XML document is given?

[RopoMen]

Is it possible to get parser to throw Error if XML document is provied for the parser?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings>
  <userName>foo</userName>
  <pw>very secret</pw>
</settings>

This is "nicely" parsed as JSON object, but I would rather get Error to be thrown :)

The short answer here is "no", given that this is an explicit feature of the library:

Can accept any string as input without throwing, parsing as much YAML out of it as it can

But if you're e.g. using the parseDocument API, you can check that errors array of the output is empty.

Kiitos!

Please update documentation accordingly https://eemeli.org/yaml/#yaml-parse

YAML.parse may throw on error, and it may log warnings using console.warn.

That page is missing this philosophy

Can accept any string as input without throwing, parsing as much YAML out of it as it can

Also does it throw or not? :)

I invite you to look at the first paragraph of the introduction on the page you linked to. Yes, the library does provide API interfaces that do throw on error, but your example was clearly using a lower-level API, which should never throw.
