#### Implement a YAML parser library
**Desirable skills:** Ability to write efficient parsers.
**Description**:
The Nim standard library currently lacks a YAML parsing module. YAML is a popular "human-readable data serialization format", its popularity is especially evident in the Ruby community. As such it would be a great addition to Nim's standard library. This task requires you to read the [YAML specification](http://yaml.org/spec/) and to create a module which will be able to parse YAML data into an AST. Subsequently the parser can be used to create a high-level API to access the data similar to the current design of the [json](http://nim-lang.org/json.html) module which provides a low-level parser and a higher-level interface which builds on top of the parser.
**Tasks**:
* Write an efficient parser which will turn YAML data into an AST.
* Design and implement an API on top of the AST to query the data contained in the AST easily.
**Expected Result**: A working YAML module with the ability to read all YAML compliant data.
**Bonus points**: Thorough testing of the YAML module to ensure that the parser works as expected.
**Difficulty:** Medium
