Description : Easy YAML serialisation of Perl data structures
In the spirit of YAML::Tiny, Data::YAML::Reader and
Data::YAML::Writer provide lightweight, dependency-free YAML
handling. While YAML::Tiny is designed principally for
working with configuration files Data::YAML concentrates on
the transparent round- tripping of YAML serialized Perl data
structures.
As an example of why this distinction matters consider that
YAML::Tiny doesn't handle hashes with keys containing
non-printable characters. This is fine for configuration
files but likely to cause problems when handling arbitrary
Perl data structures. Data::YAML handles exotic hash keys
correctly.
The syntax accepted by Data::YAML is a subset of YAML.
Specifically it is the same subset of YAML that
Data::YAML::Writer produces. See Data::YAML for more
information.
