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.
