```
function parseWorkspaceYaml(source: string): Workspace
```

Parse a YAML or JSON workspace, then validate it.

YAML parsing is Bun's, and this package otherwise runs anywhere — so this is
the one function that does not. Reached from Node it says so, rather than
failing on an undefined global; parse the document yourself and hand the
result to [`parseWorkspace`](/en/ts/latest/workspace/reference/config-parseworkspace/).

## Parameters

- `source` (`string`)
