NAME

       YAML::XS - Perl YAML Serialization using XS and libyaml

SYNOPSIS

           use YAML::XS;

           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 offers Perl the best YAML support to date.

       This module exports the functions "Dump", "Load", "DumpFile" and "LoadFile". These functions are intended
       to work exactly like "YAML.pm"'s corresponding functions.

CONFIGURATION

       $YAML::XS::UseCode
       $YAML::XS::DumpCode
       $YAML::XS::LoadCode
           If enabled supports deparsing and evaling of code blocks.

       $YAML::XS::QuoteNumericStrings
           When true (the default) strings that look like numbers but have not been numified will be quoted when
           dumping.

           This ensures leading that things like leading zeros and other formatting are preserved.

USING YAML::XS WITH UNICODE

       Handling  unicode  properly  in Perl can be a pain. YAML::XS only deals with streams of utf8 octets. Just
       remember this:

           $perl = Load($utf8_octets);
           $utf8_octets = Dump($perl);

       There are many, many places where things can go wrong with unicode.  If  you  are  having  problems,  use
       Devel::Peek on all the possible data points.
