# Alternatives to yamerl
## YAML parsers
* [yamler](https://github.com/goertzenator/yamler):
* Based on libyaml, wrapped in a NIF
* Support YAML 1.1
* Faster than yamerl
* Support Erlang atoms, however, single-quoted scalar are treated as atom, which breaks the YAML specifications
* Don't support Erlang fun()
## JSON parsers
* `mochijson2`, provided by [Mochiweb](https://github.com/mochi/mochiweb):
* A lot faster than yamerl
