yaml-pro: a package adding parser-enhanced YAML editing capabilities

I wanted to share [yaml-pro](https://github.com/zkry/yaml-pro), a package I've been working on lately, which adds convenience functions when editing YAML. Features it has includes: moving a subtree up/down, subtree folding and killing, and editing a scalar value in a detached buffer. It leverages a YAML parser I wrote ([https://github.com/zkry/yaml.el](https://github.com/zkry/yaml.el)) which increases its accuracy for these operations.

Wow! That's so useful!

Editing `seed: 1234` yields seed: >- 1234 which might be overkilled.

Finally there's a pure elisp yaml parser! Thank you!

As much as I like Emacs and the shenanigans one can do with it, I don't want to put more logs to the dumpster fire, that is yaml.

Oh my, this is wonderful. I’ve often needed good subtree editing capabilities, and it looks like you got them right. Thank you!

That's a good point. I can add a heuristic to just add it as a plain scalar if it's short and one line.

On my list to try... anything that helps tame large yaml files ....

I love colors tho. What is the name of this theme you use?

I found your config. It's Zenburn right?

exactly, it's zenburn.

What do I get with this that I don't get with [yaml-mode](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/YamlMode)?

So yaml-pro is intended to be used alongside yaml-mode. Yaml-mode provides basic editing capabilities while yaml-pro provides parser enhanced tools. So for example, without a parser it would be hard to make out where certain structures begin and end. So some of the unique features that yaml-pro has is: folding YAML subtrees (even JSON maps), killing and moving yaml subtree, and editing a scalar in a separate buffer.

Is `yaml-mode` a hard dependency? It isn't listed as such in the package description (Emacs 28.1).

I tried to write this so that it wouldn't need to depend on yaml-mode. That being said, yaml-mode is probably desirable to use alongside yaml-pro as it gives you the core features that are almost always used when editing yaml (syntax highlighting, indentation, etc.) which yaml-pro doesn't try re-implementing.
