  Description     : better way to marshal and unmarshal YAML in Golang

 This package is a wrapper around go-yaml (gopkg.in/yaml.v3) designed to
 enable a better way of handling YAML when marshaling to and from structs.
 .
 This is a fork and split of the original github.com/ghodss/yaml
 repository which no longer appears to be maintained.
 .
 In short, this library first converts YAML to JSON using go-yaml and then
 uses json.Marshal and json.Unmarshal to convert to or from the struct.
 This means that it effectively reuses the JSON struct tags as well as
 the custom JSON methods MarshalJSON and UnmarshalJSON unlike go-yaml.

Reason for packaging:
 Dependency of golang-github-getkin-kin-openapi 0.97.0 and up.
