[ANN] YAML for Cocoa

Hi, I've just uploaded my source code to read and output YAML files in cocoa. It is very handy, and I use it to replace the unreadable plist files. The parser can handle tags and references so the parser can automatically create objects for you and link them up. Whilst also having extremely readable data files. Here is an example:


---
Author : William Shakespeare
Lines :
- It is a tale told by an idiot,
- Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Birthdate : 1564


If you don't know what YAML is yet, it is a human readable data format. Mainly for maps (NSDictionary) and sequences (NSArray). It is far more readable than XML ever was. If you are not convinced check out the examples on the webpage.

Let me know what you think and if you have contributions.
