Namespace Codebelt.Extensions.YamlDotNet.Converters

Create custom YAML converters for domain types and diagnostic objects.

The Codebelt.Extensions.YamlDotNet.Converters namespace provides abstract YamlConverter base classes and factory methods for building type-specific YAML serializers. Use this namespace to handle specialized serialization logic for diagnostics (like Failure exceptions) and other domain types that need custom YAML representation.

Availability: .NET 10, .NET 9 and .NET Standard 2.0

Start with: YamlConverter base class to build custom converters, or use YamlConverterFactory to create converters with delegates.

When to use:

• Create custom converters for domain types that need special YAML formatting
• Register exception and failure converters in the YAML formatter
• Build converters that wrap low-level IEmitter events into readable YAML structures
