Subject: [ruby-core:54666] [ruby-trunk - Bug #8344] Status of Psych and Syck


Issue #8344 has been updated by zzak (Zachary Scott).


We should update the YAML module overview in lib/yaml.rb to reflect this more clearly.

Maybe we add a History or just Syck section. I can write this patch.

Regarding the EngineManager, I think it should be deprecated and eventually removed (maybe in 2.1). Maybe this should be proposed as a separate feature.

Bug #8344: Status of Psych and Syck

Hello,

The current state of YAML being Psych is still a bit unclear (see lib/yaml.rb).

I propose to document YAML as always being (=) Psych,
and give a tip about the syck gem which might be used with the Syck constant (but the YAML constant is always Psych).

Do we need to keep Psych::EngineManager? I guess for compatibility it is safer?
May I document it as deprecated so it might removed in a future version?

Related to #6163.
