NAME YAML::LibYAML - LibYAML bindings for Perl SYNOPSIS use YAML::LibYAML; my $yaml = Dump [ 1..4 ]; my $array = Load $yaml; DESCRIPTION Kirill Siminov's "libyaml" is arguably the best YAML implementation. The C library is written precisely to the YAML 1.1 specification. It was originally bound to Python and was later bound to Ruby. This module is a Perl XS binding to libyaml which will (eventually) offer Perl the best YAML support to date. This module exports the functions "Dump" and "Load". These functions are intended to work exactly like "YAML.pm"'s corresponding functions. SUPPORTED: * Unblessed hashes * Unblessed arrays * Unblessed scalars * Duplicate hash/array refs * Circular refs * Scalar refs * Empty Strings * Undef values * JSON true/false roundtripping * Blessed stuff * Code refs UNSUPPORTED: * Typeglobs * Regexps * File handles (IO refs) YAML::LibYAML currently serializes these things as good as most serializers, but YAML.pm goes farther and dumps these specially. YAML::LibYAML does not yet dump these fully. This work should progress quickly so check back often. BUGS There are no known bugs in the libyaml C library yet. The code is nearly 2 years old. The YAML::LibYAML::XS binding is new. Bugs are likely. Please report all bugs. SEE ALSO * YAML.pm * YAML::Syck * YAML::Tiny * YAML::Tests AUTHOR Ingy döt Net COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 2007.
