Can you get a node by using a string path somehow?

Such as "category.object.parameter" retrieving the node at

category:
    object:
        parameter: "hello"

In all other YAML libraries I've used in other languages one can get a node by simply entering the path to it as a string in a get function, is there a feature like that here?

Could you name these libraries? I am looking for this feature specifically

I've only used the one included with spigot in java and yaml-cpp in C++.
