Package: libdata-yaml-perl (0.0.7-3)

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.
