scanner.rs

//! Home to the YAML Scanner.
//!
//! The scanner is the lowest-level parsing utility. It is the lexer / tokenizer, reading input a
//! character at a time and emitting tokens that can later be interpreted by the [`crate::parser`]
//! to check for more context and validity.
//!
//! Due to the grammar of YAML, the scanner has to have some context and is not error-free.
