FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.

Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package mini-yaml

MiniYAML

MiniYAML is a minimalistic YAML loader and dumper for PHP. It handles the subset of YAML commonly used for configuration files and API responses.

Why MiniYAML?

Single file, zero dependencies. Drop miniyaml.php into your project and you are done — no Composer, no autoloader, no transitive dependencies.
Tiny footprint. The entire implementation is ~350 lines of straightforward PHP.
PHP template evaluation. The built-in InterpretPHP() method lets you embed <?= $var ?> tags directly in YAML, making it easy to build environment-specific configuration without a separate templating step. No other mainstream YAML library offers this.
Readable API. Three static methods — Load(), Dump(), InterpretPHP() — cover all common use cases without configuration overhead.
Runs on PHP 5.6 and up. Works on legacy hosting and old codebases where modern libraries have already dropped support.

Installation

composer require atk14/mini-yaml

Usage

Load

Options:

Option	Type	Default	Description
`nullable`	bool	`true`	Treat `null` and `NULL` as PHP `null`
`interpret_php`	bool	`false`	Evaluate PHP tags (``) embedded in the YAML string
`values`	array	`[]`	Variables made available when `interpret_php` is enabled

Dump

Options:

Option	Type	Default	Description
`nullable`	bool	`true`	Dump PHP `null` as `NULL`; when `false`, dumps as empty string `""`

Supported YAML features

Load and Dump:

Hash (associative) arrays: key: value
Indexed (list) arrays: - item
Nested structures of arbitrary depth
Empty arrays: []
Quoted strings: "value" and 'value'
null / NULL values (controlled by the nullable option)
Comments: lines starting with #

Load only:

Literal block scalars (|) — newlines preserved
Folded block scalars (>) — newlines replaced with spaces

Dump only:

Strings containing newlines are automatically serialized as literal block scalars (|)
Strings requiring escaping (colons, special characters, YAML keywords, …) are wrapped in double quotes

Example

Limitations

The following YAML features are not supported:

Multiline plain scalars (without | or >)
Anchors and aliases (&, *)
Explicit type tags (!!str, !!int, …)
Flow mappings and sequences ({…}, […]) — except empty array []
Documents with a common base indentation on all lines

MiniYAML is well-suited for YAML you write and control yourself. If the input comes from an external tool or another language, it may use syntax that MiniYAML silently misparses or ignores.

Alternatives

If MiniYAML does not cover your use case, consider these alternatives:

Library	Notes
symfony/yaml	Pure PHP, covers most of YAML 1.2. The standard choice for full YAML support; works standalone without the Symfony framework.
ext-yaml	PHP extension wrapping libyaml (C). Fastest option, full YAML 1.1 compliance. Requires server-level installation.
nette/neon	Pure PHP, implements NEON — a YAML-like format with PHP-native types. Not YAML, but a comfortable alternative if you control both ends.

Testing

composer update --dev
./vendor/bin/run_unit_tests test
