title: Parsing strings (Str)
---
StrictYAML parses to a YAML object, not
the value directly to give you more flexibility
and control over what you can do with the YAML.
This is what that can object can do - in most
cases if parsed as a string, it will behave in
the same way.
Example yaml_snippet:
```yaml
a: 1
b: yes
c: â string
d: |
multiline string
```
```python
from strictyaml import Str, Map, load
from ensure import Ensure
schema = Map({"a": Str(), "b": Str(), "c": Str(), "d": Str()})
parsed = load(yaml_snippet, schema)
```
Parses correctly:
```python
Ensure(parsed).equals(
{"a": "1", "b": "yes", "c": u"â string", "d": "multiline string\n"}
)
```
Dict lookup cast to string:
```python
Ensure(str(parsed["a"])).equals("1")
```
Dict lookup cast to int:
```python
Ensure(int(parsed["a"])).equals(1)
```
Dict lookup cast to bool impossible:
```python
bool(parsed["a"])
```
```python
:
Cannot cast 'YAML(1)' to bool.
Use bool(yamlobj.data) or bool(yamlobj.text) instead.
```
