 The [`py-yaml12`](https://github.com/posit-dev/py-yaml12) library is a YAML 1.2 parser and formatter for Python, implemented in Rust for speed and correctness. It is built on the `saphyr` crate[^14] (a Rust YAML library) and exposes a minimal, focused API: `parse_yaml()` and `read_yaml()` for loading, `format_yaml()` and `write_yaml()` for serialization.

 ### Simple
 
 The design philosophy is straightforward. For the vast majority of use cases, you work with plain Python builtins end to end: `dict`, `list`, `int`, `float`, `str`, and `None`. There is no special document class, no custom node types in the common path. Because YAML 1.2 is a superset of JSON, all valid JSON parses identically. The library achieves 100% compliance with the yaml-test-suite,[^15] the community-maintained corpus of edge cases and conformance tests.
