My goal is to be compatible as much as possible with [David Tolnay](https://github.com/dtolnay)'s original library.

I haven't found any good fork as of the start of this project. The best candidate was
[serde\_yml](https://github.com/sebastienrousseau/serde_yml) which is based on
[a giant "Initial commit" from the main maintainer](https://github.com/sebastienrousseau/serde_yml/commit/4312d4a56225b223410b5133af571fd13e62f18a).
This is the type of practices which leads to [security disasters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XZ_Utils_backdoor).

I don't want to fight with people, I'm maintaining this library for myself, and
for the rust ecosystem as a whole. So as we say in French: "*You are never
better served than by yourself*".

Use it, don't use it, I don't care. I'll try to fix bugs as many bugs I can.
I'll accept pull request if they're reasonable or easy to work with.

I don't want to fight with people about their practices, that's why I'm
maintaining this library for myself, and for the rust ecosystem as a whole.
