YamlSourceMap

Calculate JSON Pointers to each value within a YAML document along with the line, column and character position for the start and end of that value.

For example:

python -m pip install yaml_source_map

from yaml_source_map import calculate


print(calculate('foo: bar'))

The above results in:

{
    "": Entry(
        value_start=Location(line=0, column=0, position=0),
        value_end=Location(line=0, column=8, position=8),
        key_start=None,
        key_end=None,
    ),
    "/foo": Entry(
        value_start=Location(line=0, column=5, position=5),
        value_end=Location(line=0, column=8, position=8),
        key_start=Location(line=0, column=0, position=0),
        key_end=Location(line=0, column=3, position=3),
    ),
}

The following features have been implemented:

• support for primitive types (strings, numbers, booleans and null),
• support for structural types (sequence and mapping).
