using YamlDotNet.Core;

var yamlData =
"""
- name: Tyrannosaurus Rex
  weight: 6.7
  diet: Carnivore
  extinction: 66
- name: Triceratops
  weight: 8
  diet: Herbivore
  extinction: 66
- name: Apatosaurus
  weight: 33
  diet: Herbivore
  extinction: 147
- name: Archaeopteryx
  weight: 0.001
  diet: Omnivore
  extinction: 147
- name: Anklyosaurus
  weight: 4.8
  diet: Herbivore
  extinction: 66
- name: Stegosaurus
  weight: 3.8
  diet: Herbivore
  extinction: 147
- name: Hadrosaurus
  weight: 3
  diet: Herbivore
  extinction: 66
""";

using var textReader = new StringReader(csvData);
var parser = new Parser(textReader);

var yamlAdapter = new YamlDotNetTabulatorAdapter(parser);

var tabulator = new Tabulator();
var table = tabulator.Tabulate(yamlAdapter);

Console.WriteLine(table);

This will produce the output:
