SnakeYAML Configuration

JAVA

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.yaml</groupId>
    <artifactId>snakeyaml</artifactId>
    <version>1.20-SNAPSHOT</version>
  </dependency>

Android

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.yaml</groupId>
  <artifactId>snakeyaml</artifactId>
  <version>1.20-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <classifier>android</classifier>
</dependency>

For any operation with SnakeYAML api’s you have to use below steps:
package :

org.yaml.snakeyaml.Yaml

Intialization:
Yaml yaml = new Yaml();

Loading YAML :

• yaml.load(String) accepts a String.
• yaml.load(InputStream) accepts a InputStream.

yaml.load(InputStream) detects the encoding by checking the BOM (byte order mark) sequence at the beginning of streams. If no BOM presents the utf-8 encoding is assumed..
