To learn about the API, it's best to start with snakeyaml-engine's (upstream project's) docs [here](https://bitbucket.org/snakeyaml/snakeyaml-engine/wiki/Documentation).

# Versioning

Semantic versioning is not strictly followed here because we try to reflect the upstream project's versioning.

The major and minor version number correspond to the major and minor version number of the upstream project
([SnakeYAML Engine](https://bitbucket.org/snakeyaml/snakeyaml-engine/)). Bumping the patch version can happen
in two cases:
* the upstream project released a new version with the patch version number increased,
* some adjustment strictly related to this port library was needed, while being in sync with the same
major and minor version number of the upstream project. In particular, it may happen that there's a breaking
change not related to reflecting a newer version of the upstream project, then just the patch version number
will be incremented.

The release notes for each version mentions which version of the upstream project the given release corresponds to.

### Snapshot releases

Snapshot versions of SnakeYAML Engine KMP (straight from the main branch) are available.
