It addresses two common pain points: unwanted type inference (converting strings like '3.0.0' into floats or booleans) and loss of key order. By default, saneyaml loads everything except booleans as strings, preserves insertion order in dictionaries, and can optionally detect duplicate map keys\u2014all while producing clean, readable YAML output when dumping.\n\nThe library is intended for developers who need reliable, unsurprising YAML handling in configuration workflows. It trades some of PyYAML's automatic type conversion for predictability, making it especially useful when you want version strings, IDs, and other numeric-looking values to remain strings unless explicitly converted.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need predictable YAML handling for configuration files and want to avoid PyYAML's automatic type conversions. The single dependency, permissive license, and low install friction make it a lightweight addition. Maintenance is aging (last release 2024-08-14, no updates in over 730 days), but the repository is active and there are no known security vulnerabilities. Suitable for stable, non-evolving use cases; monitor the repo if you need ongoing feature development."},"id":"saneyaml","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/saneyaml","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/saneyaml.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/saneyaml/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-08-14","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"saneyaml","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Read and write readable YAML safely preserving order and avoiding bad surprises with unwanted infered type conversions.
