title: Parsing comma separated items (CommaSeparated)
---
Comma-separated values can be validated and parsed
using the CommaSeparated validator.
Note that the space following the commas is stripped by
default when parsed.
```python
from strictyaml import CommaSeparated, Int, Str, Map, load, as_document
from ensure import Ensure
int_schema = Map({"a": CommaSeparated(Int())})
str_schema = Map({"a": CommaSeparated(Str())})
```
Parse as int:
```yaml
a: 1, 2, 3
```
```python
Ensure(load(yaml_snippet, int_schema)).equals({"a": [1, 2, 3]})
```
Parse as string:
```yaml
a: 1, 2, 3
```
```python
Ensure(load(yaml_snippet, str_schema)).equals({"a": ["1", "2", "3"]})
```
Parse empty comma separated string:
```yaml
a:
```
```python
Ensure(load(yaml_snippet, str_schema)).equals({"a": []})
```
Invalid int comma separated sequence:
```yaml
a: 1, x, 3
```
```python
load(yaml_snippet, int_schema)
```
```python
strictyaml.exceptions.YAMLValidationError:
when expecting an integer
in "<unicode string>", line 2, column 1:
^ (line: 2)
found arbitrary text
in "<unicode string>", line 1, column 1:
a: 1, x, 3
^ (line: 1)
```
Serialize list to comma separated sequence:
```python
print(as_document({"a": [1, 2, 3]}, int_schema).as_yaml())
```
```yaml
a: 1, 2, 3
```
Serialize valid string to comma separated sequence:
```python
print(as_document({"a": "1,2,3"}, int_schema).as_yaml())
```
```yaml
a: 1,2,3
```
Serialize empty list to comma separated sequence:
```python
print(as_document({"a": []}, int_schema).as_yaml())
```
```yaml
a:
```
Serialize invalid string to comma separated sequence:
```python
print(as_document({"a": "1,x,3"}, int_schema).as_yaml())
```
```python
strictyaml.exceptions.YAMLSerializationError:
'x' not an integer.
```
Attempt to serialize neither list nor string raises exception:
```python
as_document({"a": 1}, int_schema)
```
```python
strictyaml.exceptions.YAMLSerializationError:
expected string or list, got '1' of type 'int'
```
