class YAMLDocstringParser(object):
    """
    Docstring parser powered by YAML syntax

    This parser allows you override some parts of automatic method inspection
    behaviours which are not always correct.

    See the following documents for more information about YAML and Swagger:
    - https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-core/wiki
    - http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html
    - https://github.com/wordnik/swagger-codegen/wiki/Creating-Swagger-JSON-from-YAML-files

    1. Control over parameters
    ============================================================================
    Define parameters and its properties in docstrings:

        parameters:
            - name: some_param
              description: Foobar long description goes here
              required: true
              type: integer
              paramType: form
              minimum: 10
              maximum: 100
            - name: other_foo
              paramType: query
            - name: avatar
              type: file

    It is possible to override parameters discovered by method inspector by
    defining:
        `parameters_strategy` option to either `merge` or `replace`

    To define different strategies for different `paramType`'s use the
    following syntax:
        parameters_strategy:
            form: replace
            query: merge

    By default strategy is set to `merge`


    Sometimes method inspector produces wrong list of parameters that
    you might not won't to see in SWAGGER form. To handle this situation
    define `paramTypes` that should be omitted
        omit_parameters:
            - form

    2. Control over serializers
    ============================================================================
    Once in a while you are using different serializers inside methods
    but automatic method inspector cannot detect this. For that purpose there
    is two explicit parameters that allows you to discard serializer detected
    by method inspector OR replace it with another one

        serializer: some.package.FooSerializer
        omit_serializer: true

    3. Custom Response Class
    ============================================================================
    If your view is not using serializer at all but instead outputs simple
    data type such as JSON you may define custom response object in method
    signature like follows:

        type:
          name:
            required: true
            type: string
          url:
            required: false
            type: url

    4. Response Messages (Error Codes)
    ============================================================================
    If you'd like to share common response errors that your APIView might throw
    you can define them in docstring using following format:

    responseMessages:
        - code: 401
          message: Not authenticated
        - code: 403
          message: Insufficient rights to call this procedure


    5. Different models for reading and writing operations
    ============================================================================
    Since REST Framework won't output write_only fields in responses as well as
    does not require read_only fields to be provided it is worth to
    automatically register 2 separate models for reading and writing operations.

    Discovered serializer will be registered with `Write` or `Read` prefix.
    Response Class will be automatically adjusted if serializer class was
    detected by method inspector.

    You can also refer to this models in your parameters:

    parameters:
        - name: CigarSerializer
          type: WriteCigarSerializer
          paramType: body


    SAMPLE DOCSTRING:
    ============================================================================
