Support JS backend - Githubissues

flyx commented 8 years ago

Nim's JavaScript backend is currently not supported because it doesn't support first-class iterators. Since it is unlikely that this will change in the near future, to support the backend, fastparse.nim must be refactored to not use first-class iterators.

Required changes:

[x] Refactor parser to not use first class iterators
[x] Refactor serialization to not use first class iterators
[x] Find a way to deal with missing exception handling for JS target
[x] Find a way to deal with missing StringStream for JS target (parsing)
[x] Find a way to deal with missing StringStream for JS target (dumper)

What should be done to declare NimYAML fit for JS:

[ ] All parser tests shall be green in JS
[ ] The majority of serialization tests shall be green in JS, minus some that have issues depending on Nim's JS support
[ ] Travis should run JS tests
[ ] nimyaml.org testing ground shall be built in pure JS
