It works both as a command-line tool and as a Python library, making it useful for configuration validation, data pipeline checks, and automated testing of YAML-based inputs.\n\nThe package depends only on pyyaml (with an optional ruamel.yaml for YAML 1.2 support) and supports Python 3.8 through 3.14. You write schemas in plain YAML using validators like str(), int(), bool(), enum(), and include() for reusable structures. When validation fails, yamale reports all errors at once rather than stopping at the first one, helping you fix multiple issues in a single pass.","worth_installing":"Yes. Yamale is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with minimal friction, and solves a concrete problem\u2014catching YAML structure errors before they cause runtime failures. It's well-suited for any workflow where YAML files are a critical input and validation overhead is worth the safety gain."},"id":"yamale","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/yamale","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/yamale.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/yamale/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-11-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"yamale","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A schema and validator for YAML."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":4245504,"position":2353,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"6.1.0"}
