### Trimming

The library is trim-analyzed. Its default `YamlConverter` methods and `AddSystemTextJson` extensions for YamlDotNet's reflection based builders are marked as requiring unreferenced code. For trimmed applications, use the `YamlConverter` overloads that accept a generated `StaticContext`, or YamlDotNet's static builders.

Add the `Vecc.YamlDotNet.Analyzers.StaticGenerator` package to the consuming application, declare a partial `StaticContext` with `[YamlStaticContext]` and `[YamlSerializable(typeof(MyModel))]`, then pass that context to `YamlConverter.Serialize` and `YamlConverter.Deserialize<T>`. Register all application model types used by the context, including enum types. The `AddSystemTextJson` builder extensions also support YamlDotNet's static builder types.
### Trimming

The [`samples`](samples) project demonstrates static-context serialization and deserialization, JSON property attributes, extension data, ordering and default-value options, unmatched-property handling, and direct static-builder configuration. It also runs as the trimmed consumer smoke test in CI.

For applications configuring YamlDotNet's static builders directly, register each model type and enum in the generated static context. The context must include public model properties, fields, and constructors, and enum public fields for `JsonStringEnumMemberNameAttribute`. For `IDictionary<string, JsonElement>` extension data, values may be JSON scalars, dictionaries with string keys, sequences, or existing `JsonElement`, `JsonDocument`, or `JsonNode` instances. Arbitrary CLR objects require runtime JSON metadata and are rejected. `IDictionary<string, object>` extension data retains its values as objects.

Extension-data properties using a concrete dictionary type other than `Dictionary<string, object>` or `Dictionary<string, JsonElement>` should be initialized before deserialization.

### Inspired By

[https://github.com/tomlm/YamlConvert](https://github.com/tomlm/YamlConvert)
Use the generated `StaticContext` overloads for trimmed or Native AOT apps. Install the generator with `dotnet add package Vecc.YamlDotNet.Analyzers.StaticGenerator`, register every model and enum, and preserve members that carry System.Text.Json attributes:

The README recommends the package that this PR had to replace.

Line 78 tells users to install Vecc.YamlDotNet.Analyzers.StaticGenerator. According to tools/YamlDotNet.Analyzers.StaticGenerator/README.md, the generator is vendored because the published package does not yet include the nested-type-name fix. The test fixtures depend on that fix (for example, FixtureModels.Enums.TestEnum). Users who follow Line 78 and register nested types can get generated code that does not compile.

Add a note that nested model types need a package version that includes the fix. Alternatively, state the minimum package version once it is released.

```csharp
using System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis;
using System.Text.Json.Serialization;
using YamlDotNet.Serialization;
using YamlDotNet.System.Text.Json;

[YamlStaticContext]
[YamlSerializable(typeof(ServiceConfig))]
[YamlSerializable(typeof(DeploymentMode))]
public partial class AppYamlContext : StaticContext
{
}

public sealed class ServiceConfig
{
[JsonPropertyName("service-name")]
public string Name { get; set; } = "api";

public DeploymentMode Mode { get; set; }
}

public enum DeploymentMode
{
[JsonStringEnumMemberName("production")]
Production,
}

internal static class Program
{
[DynamicDependency(DynamicallyAccessedMemberTypes.All, typeof(ServiceConfig))]
[DynamicDependency(DynamicallyAccessedMemberTypes.PublicFields, typeof(DeploymentMode))]
private static void Main()
{
var context = new AppYamlContext();
var yaml = YamlConverter.Serialize(new ServiceConfig { Name = "api" }, context);
var config = YamlConverter.Deserialize<ServiceConfig>(yaml, context);
}
}
```

To use YamlDotNet's builder APIs with the same context:

```csharp
var serializer = new StaticSerializerBuilder(context)
.AddSystemTextJson()
.Build();
var deserializer = new StaticDeserializerBuilder(context)
.AddSystemTextJson()
.Build();

var yaml = serializer.Serialize(config);
var roundTripped = deserializer.Deserialize<ServiceConfig>(yaml);
```

Set `<PublishAot>true</PublishAot>` in the app project for Native AOT, or `<PublishTrimmed>true</PublishTrimmed>` for trimming, then publish for your target runtime identifier. The context APIs use generated YamlDotNet model metadata; contextless `YamlConverter` methods and YamlDotNet's reflection builders require unreferenced code.
