fkYAML is a C++ header-only YAML library. If you want portability & development speed-up, fkYAML is the way to go. No need to build a library only for a third party project. You can add YAML support into your projects by just including header files where it's needed.

There are a lot of YAML libraries out there, and each may have its reason to exist. fkYAML has been developed with these design goals:

The whole code depends only on C++ standards, and is carefully designed to work on many platforms so that fkYAML can be imported into existing C++ projects written in C++11 or better. No external dependencies, no sub-project, or no additional compiler flags are required. Although fkYAML is a library with multiple header files by default, you can use the single-header version located in the single_include directory. Furthermore, the project supports CMake and provides the documentation exclusively for CMake integration. Those characteristics allow existing C++ project using CMake for builds to quickly incorporate YAML support with just a little effort.

The documentation provides plenty of information so that users can understand what fkYAML is and what they can achieve with fkYAML. For instance, the tutorial pages show how you can read/write/customize fkYAML to handle YAML documents while creating a simple C++ project using CMake. More detailed, exclusive descriptions with example usages for each fkYAML API are available in the API reference pages.
