How do I use YAML/LibYAML from C++?

YAML, LibYAML, C++, parsing, serialization
This content explains how to use YAML/LibYAML in C++ for parsing and serializing YAML data.

// Include the required headers
#include 
#include 

int main() {
    // Create a YAML parser
    yaml_parser_t parser;
    yaml_parser_initialize(&parser);
    
    // Set up input file
    FILE *input_file = fopen("example.yaml", "r");
    if (!input_file) {
        std::cerr << "Failed to open file" << std::endl;
        return -1;
    }
    
    yaml_parser_set_input_file(&parser, input_file);

    // Process the YAML data
    yaml_event_t event;
    while (1) {
        yaml_parser_parse(&parser, &event);
        if (event.type == YAML_DOCUMENT_END_EVENT) {
            break;
        }
        // Handle the events as needed
        // ...
    }

    // Clean up
    yaml_parser_delete(&parser);
    fclose(input_file);
    return 0;
}
