B4A Library [B4X] YAML parser

A simple parser, similar to the json parser, for YAML strings.

It is compatible with B4A and B4J.
It is based on: https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/yamlbeans (MIT license)

Put yaml.jar in the additional libraries folder and add a reference with:

#AdditionalJar: yaml.jar

Note that booleans and dates will return as strings.
