### Field Detail

#### ESCAPE_REPLACEMENTS

    public static final java.util.Map<java.lang.Character,java.lang.String> ESCAPE_REPLACEMENTS

A mapping from an escaped character in the input stream to the character that they should be replaced with. YAML defines several common and a few uncommon escape sequences.

#### ESCAPE_CODES

    public static final java.util.Map<java.lang.Character,java.lang.Integer> ESCAPE_CODES

A mapping from a character to a number of bytes to read-ahead for that escape sequence. These escape sequences are used to handle unicode escaping in the following formats, where H is a hexadecimal character:

     \xHH         : escaped 8-bit Unicode character
     \uHHHH       : escaped 16-bit Unicode character
     \UHHHHHHHH   : escaped 32-bit Unicode character

### Method Detail

#### checkToken

    public boolean checkToken(Token.ID... choices)

Check whether the next token is one of the given types.

Specified by:
  `checkToken` in interface `Scanner`
Parameters:
  `choices` - token IDs.
Returns:
  `true` if the next token can be assigned to a variable of at least one of the given types. Returns `false` if no more tokens are available.

#### peekToken

    public Token peekToken()

Return the next token, but do not delete it from the queue.

Specified by:
  `peekToken` in interface `Scanner`
Returns:
  The token that will be returned on the next call to `Scanner.getToken()`

#### getToken

    public Token getToken()

Return the next token, removing it from the queue.

Specified by:
  `getToken` in interface `Scanner`
