Pretty YAML is a semi-tolerant and configurable YAML formatter. It is available as a dprint plugin and can also be integrated into Rust applications as a library.
The formatter offers extensive control over indentation, line wrapping, quotation marks, spacing, trailing commas, comments and whitespace. Its underlying YAML parser is also available as a separate Rust library.
This is free and open source software.
