Question

I would like to parse YAML in the browser. Ideally I’m looking for a browser-ready library. The ones I’ve found are not written to run in a browser (they make synchronous calls to require() or assume the existence of an exports variable).

Alternatively, I’ll accept example code that shows how to load a YAML-parsing library into the browser via RequireJS.

Similar question: JavaScript YAML Parser.

The most promising library that seems to work in the browser is js-yaml. A snippet from the project page for loading the library in HTML:

<script src="js-yaml.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var doc = jsyaml.load('greeting: hello\nname: world');
</script>

They claim to also support AMD loaders like RequireJS.

Here is the “browserified” version of the library: with comments and minified.
