It 152 ain't! YAML is really a data serialization language. But if you want 153 to think of it as a markup, that's OK with me. A lot of people try 154 to use XML as a serialization format. 155 156 "YAML" is catchy and fun to say. Try it.

L<http://www.yaml.org/spec/> 170 171 YAML is a generic data serialization language that is optimized for 172 human readability. It can be used to express the data structures of most 173 modern programming languages. (Including Perl!!!) 174 175 For information on the YAML syntax, please refer to the YAML 176 specification. 177 178 =head1 WHY YAML IS COOL 179 180 =over 4 181 182 =item YAML is readable for people. 183 184 It makes clear sense out of complex data structures. You should find 185 that YAML is an exceptional data dumping tool. Structure is shown 186 through indentation, YAML supports recursive data, and hash keys are 187 sorted by default. In addition, YAML supports several styles of scalar 188 formatting for different types of data. 189 190 =item YAML is editable. 191 192 YAML was designed from the ground up to be an excellent syntax for 193 configuration files. Almost all programs need configuration files, so 194 why invent a new syntax for each one? And why subject users to the 195 complexities of XML or native Perl code? 196 197 =item YAML is multilingual. 198 199 Yes, YAML supports Unicode. But I'm actually referring to programming 200 languages. YAML was designed to meet the serialization needs of Perl, 201 Python, Ruby, Tcl, PHP, Javascript and Java. It was also designed to be 202 interoperable between those languages. That means YAML serializations 203 produced by Perl can be processed by Python. 204 205 =item YAML is taint safe. 206 207 Using modules like Data::Dumper for serialization is fine as long as you 208 can be sure that nobody can tamper with your data files or 209 transmissions. That's because you need to use Perl's C<eval()> built-in 210 to deserialize the data. Somebody could add a snippet of Perl to erase 211 your files. 212 213 YAML's parser does not need to eval anything. 214 215 =item YAML is full featured. 216 217 YAML can accurately serialize all of the common Perl data structures and 218 deserialize them again without losing data relationships. Although it is 219 not 100% perfect (no serializer is or can be perfect), it fares as well 220 as the popular current modules: Data::Dumper, Storable, XML::Dumper and 221 Data::Denter. 222 223 YAML.pm also has the ability to handle code (subroutine) references and 224 typeglobs. (Still experimental) These features are not found in Perl's 225 other serialization modules. 226 227 =item YAML is extensible. 228 229 The YAML language has been designed to be flexible enough to solve it's 230 own problems. The markup itself has 3 basic construct which resemble 231 Perl's hash, array and scalar. By default, these map to their Perl 232 equivalents. But each YAML node also supports a tagging mechanism (type 233 system) which can cause that node to be interpreted in a completely 234 different manner. That's how YAML can support object serialization and 235 oddball structures like Perl's typeglob. 236 237 =back 238 239 =head1 YAML IMPLEMENTATIONS IN PERL 240 241 This module, YAML.pm, is really just the interface module for YAML 242 modules written in Perl. The basic interface for YAML consists of two 243 functions: C<Dump> and C<Load>. The real work is done by the modules 244 YAML::Dumper and YAML::Loader. 245 246 Different YAML module distributions can be created by subclassing 247 YAML.pm and YAML::Loader and YAML::Dumper. For example, YAML-Simple 248 consists of YAML::Simple YAML::Dumper::Simple and YAML::Loader::Simple. 249 250 Why would there be more than one implementation of YAML? Well, despite 251 YAML's offering of being a simple data format, YAML is actually very 252 deep and complex. Implementing the entirety of the YAML specification is 253 a daunting task. 254 255 For this reason I am currently working on 3 different YAML implementations. 256 257 =over 258 259 =item YAML 260 261 The main YAML distribution will keeping evolving to support the entire 262 YAML specification in pure Perl. This may not be the fastest or most 263 stable module though. Currently, YAML.pm has lots of known bugs. It is 264 mostly a great tool for dumping Perl data structures to a readable form. 265 266 =item YAML::Tiny 267 268 The point of YAML::Tiny is to strip YAML down to the 90% that people 269 use most and offer that in a small, fast, stable, pure Perl form. 270 YAML::Tiny will simply die when it is asked to do something it can't. 271 272 =item YAML::Syck 273 274 C<libsyck> is the C based YAML processing library used by the Ruby 275 programming language (and also Python, PHP and Pugs). YAML::Syck is the 276 Perl binding to C<libsyck>. It should be very fast, but may have 277 problems of its own. It will also require C compilation. 278 279 NOTE: Audrey Tang has actually completed this module and it works great 280 and is 10 times faster than YAML.pm. 281 282 =back 283 284 In the future, there will likely be even more YAML modules. Remember, 285 people other than Ingy are allowed to write YAML modules! 286 287 =head1 FUNCTIONAL USAGE 288 289 YAML is completely OO under the hood. Still it exports a few useful top 290 level functions so that it is dead simple to use. These functions just 291 do the OO stuff for you. If you want direct access to the OO API see the 292 documentation for YAML::Dumper and YAML::Loader. 293 294 =head2 Exported Functions 295 296 The following functions are exported by YAML.pm by default. The reason 297 they are exported is so that YAML works much like Data::Dumper. If you 298 don't want functions to be imported, just use YAML with an empty 299 import list: 300 301 use YAML (); 302 303 =over 4 304 305 =item Dump(list-of-Perl-data-structures) 306 307 Turn Perl data into YAML. This function works very much like 308 Data::Dumper::Dumper(). It takes a list of Perl data strucures and 309 dumps them into a serialized form. It returns a string containing the 310 YAML stream. The structures can be references or plain scalars. 311 312 =item Load(string-containing-a-YAML-stream) 313 314 Turn YAML into Perl data. This is the opposite of Dump. Just like 315 Storable's thaw() function or the eval() function in relation to 316 Data::Dumper. It parses a string containing a valid YAML stream into a 317 list of Perl data structures. 318 319 =back 320 321 =head2 Exportable Functions 322 323 These functions are not exported by default but you can request them in 324 an import list like this: 325 326 use YAML qw'freeze thaw Bless'; 327 328 =over 4 329 330 =item freeze() and thaw() 331 332 Aliases to Dump() and Load() for Storable fans. This will also allow 333 YAML.pm to be plugged directly into modules like POE.pm, that use the 334 freeze/thaw API for internal serialization. 335 336 =item DumpFile(filepath, list) 337 338 Writes the YAML stream to a file instead of just returning a string. 339 340 =item LoadFile(filepath) 341 342 Reads the YAML stream from a file instead of a string. 343 344 =item Bless(perl-node, [yaml-node | class-name]) 345 346 Associate a normal Perl node, with a yaml node. A yaml node is an object 347 tied to the YAML::Node class. The second argument is either a yaml node 348 that you've already created or a class (package) name that supports a 349 yaml_dump() function. A yaml_dump() function should take a perl node and 350 return a yaml node. If no second argument is provided, Bless will create 351 a yaml node. This node is not returned, but can be retrieved with the 352 Blessed() function. 353 354 Here's an example of how to use Bless. Say you have a hash containing 355 three keys, but you only want to dump two of them. Furthermore the keys 356 must be dumped in a certain order. Here's how you do that: 357 358 use YAML qw(Dump Bless); 359 $hash = {apple => 'good', banana => 'bad', cauliflower => 'ugly'}; 360 print Dump $hash; 361 Bless($hash)->keys(['banana', 'apple']); 362 print Dump $hash; 363 364 produces: 365 366 --- 367 apple: good 368 banana: bad 369 cauliflower: ugly 370 --- 371 banana: bad 372 apple: good 373 374 Bless returns the tied part of a yaml-node, so that you can call the 375 YAML::Node methods. This is the same thing that YAML::Node::ynode() 376 returns. So another way to do the above example is: 377 378 use YAML qw(Dump Bless); 379 use YAML::Node; 380 $hash = {apple => 'good', banana => 'bad', cauliflower => 'ugly'}; 381 print Dump $hash; 382 Bless($hash); 383 $ynode = ynode(Blessed($hash)); 384 $ynode->keys(['banana', 'apple']); 385 print Dump $hash; 386 387 Note that Blessing a Perl data structure does not change it anyway. The 388 extra information is stored separately and looked up by the Blessed 389 node's memory address. 390 391 =item Blessed(perl-node) 392 393 Returns the yaml node that a particular perl node is associated with 394 (see above). Returns undef if the node is not (YAML) Blessed. 395 396 =back 397 398 =head1 GLOBAL OPTIONS 399 400 YAML options are set using a group of global variables in the YAML 401 namespace. This is similar to how Data::Dumper works. 402 403 For example, to change the indentation width, do something like: 404 405 local $YAML::Indent = 3; 406 407 The current options are: 408 409 =over 4 410 411 =item DumperClass 412 413 You can override which module/class YAML uses for Dumping data. 414 415 =item LoaderClass 416 417 You can override which module/class YAML uses for Loading data. 418 419 =item Indent 420 421 This is the number of space characters to use for each indentation level 422 when doing a Dump(). The default is 2. 423 424 By the way, YAML can use any number of characters for indentation at any 425 level. So if you are editing YAML by hand feel free to do it anyway that 426 looks pleasing to you; just be consistent for a given level. 427 428 =item SortKeys 429 430 Default is 1. (true) 431 432 Tells YAML.pm whether or not to sort hash keys when storing a document. 433 434 YAML::Node objects can have their own sort order, which is usually what 435 you want. To override the YAML::Node order and sort the keys anyway, set 436 SortKeys to 2. 437 438 =item Stringify 439 440 Default is 0. (false) 441 442 Objects with string overloading should honor the overloading and dump the 443 stringification of themselves, rather than the actual object's guts. 444 445 =item UseHeader 446 447 Default is 1. (true) 448 449 This tells YAML.pm whether to use a separator string for a Dump 450 operation. This only applies to the first document in a stream. 451 Subsequent documents must have a YAML header by definition. 452 453 =item UseVersion 454 455 Default is 0. (false) 456 457 Tells YAML.pm whether to include the YAML version on the 458 separator/header. 459 460 --- %YAML:1.0 461 462 =item AnchorPrefix 463 464 Default is ''. 465 466 Anchor names are normally numeric. YAML.pm simply starts with '1' and 467 increases by one for each new anchor. This option allows you to specify a 468 string to be prepended to each anchor number. 469 470 =item UseCode 471 472 Setting the UseCode option is a shortcut to set both the DumpCode and 473 LoadCode options at once. Setting UseCode to '1' tells YAML.pm to dump 474 Perl code references as Perl (using B::Deparse) and to load them back 475 into memory using eval(). The reason this has to be an option is that 476 using eval() to parse untrusted code is, well, untrustworthy. 477 478 =item DumpCode 479 480 Determines if and how YAML.pm should serialize Perl code references. By 481 default YAML.pm will dump code references as dummy placeholders (much 482 like Data::Dumper). If DumpCode is set to '1' or 'deparse', code 483 references will be dumped as actual Perl code. 484 485 DumpCode can also be set to a subroutine reference so that you can 486 write your own serializing routine. YAML.pm passes you the code ref. You 487 pass back the serialization (as a string) and a format indicator. The 488 format indicator is a simple string like: 'deparse' or 'bytecode'. 489 490 =item LoadCode 491 492 LoadCode is the opposite of DumpCode. It tells YAML if and how to 493 deserialize code references. When set to '1' or 'deparse' it will use 494 C<eval()>. Since this is potentially risky, only use this option if you 495 know where your YAML has been. 496 497 LoadCode can also be set to a subroutine reference so that you can write 498 your own deserializing routine. YAML.pm passes the serialization (as a 499 string) and a format indicator. You pass back the code reference. 500 501 =item UseBlock 502 503 YAML.pm uses heuristics to guess which scalar style is best for a given 504 node. Sometimes you'll want all multiline scalars to use the 'block' 505 style. If so, set this option to 1. 506 507 NOTE: YAML's block style is akin to Perl's here-document. 508 509 =item UseFold 510 511 If you want to force YAML to use the 'folded' style for all multiline 512 scalars, then set $UseFold to 1. 513 514 NOTE: YAML's folded style is akin to the way HTML folds text, 515 except smarter. 516 517 =item UseAliases 518 519 YAML has an alias mechanism such that any given structure in memory gets 520 serialized once. Any other references to that structure are serialized 521 only as alias markers. This is how YAML can serialize duplicate and 522 recursive structures. 523 524 Sometimes, when you KNOW that your data is nonrecursive in nature, you 525 may want to serialize such that every node is expressed in full. (ie as 526 a copy of the original). Setting $YAML::UseAliases to 0 will allow you 527 to do this. This also may result in faster processing because the lookup 528 overhead is by bypassed. 529 530 THIS OPTION CAN BE DANGEROUS. *If* your data is recursive, this option 531 *will* cause Dump() to run in an endless loop, chewing up your computers 532 memory. You have been warned. 533 534 =item CompressSeries 535 536 Default is 1. 537 538 Compresses the formatting of arrays of hashes: 539 540 - 541 foo: bar 542 - 543 bar: foo 544 545 becomes: 546 547 - foo: bar 548 - bar: foo 549 550 Since this output is usually more desirable, this option is turned on by 551 default. 552 553 =back 554 555 =head1 YAML TERMINOLOGY 556 557 YAML is a full featured data serialization language, and thus has its 558 own terminology. 559 560 It is important to remember that although YAML is heavily influenced by 561 Perl and Python, it is a language in its own right, not merely just a 562 representation of Perl structures. 563 564 YAML has three constructs that are conspicuously similar to Perl's hash, 565 array, and scalar. They are called mapping, sequence, and string 566 respectively. By default, they do what you would expect. But each 567 instance may have an explicit or implicit tag (type) that makes it 568 behave differently. In this manner, YAML can be extended to represent 569 Perl's Glob or Python's tuple, or Ruby's Bigint. 570 571 =over 4 572 573 =item stream 574 575 A YAML stream is the full sequence of unicode characters that a YAML 576 parser would read or a YAML emitter would write. A stream may contain 577 one or more YAML documents separated by YAML headers. 578 579 --- 580 a: mapping 581 foo: bar 582 --- 583 - a 584 - sequence 585 586 =item document 587 588 A YAML document is an independent data structure representation within a 589 stream. It is a top level node. Each document in a YAML stream must 590 begin with a YAML header line. Actually the header is optional on the 591 first document. 592 593 --- 594 This: top level mapping 595 is: 596 - a 597 - YAML 598 - document 599 600 =item header 601 602 A YAML header is a line that begins a YAML document. It consists of 603 three dashes, possibly followed by more info. Another purpose of the 604 header line is that it serves as a place to put top level tag and anchor 605 information. 606 607 --- !recursive-sequence &001 608 - * 001 609 - * 001 610 611 =item node 612 613 A YAML node is the representation of a particular data stucture. Nodes 614 may contain other nodes. (In Perl terms, nodes are like scalars. 615 Strings, arrayrefs and hashrefs. But this refers to the serialized 616 format, not the in-memory structure.) 617 618 =item tag 619 620 This is similar to a type. It indicates how a particular YAML node 621 serialization should be transferred into or out of memory. For instance 622 a Foo::Bar object would use the tag 'perl/Foo::Bar': 623 624 - !perl/Foo::Bar 625 foo: 42 626 bar: stool 627 628 =item collection 629 630 A collection is the generic term for a YAML data grouping. YAML has two 631 types of collections: mappings and sequences. (Similar to hashes and arrays) 632 633 =item mapping 634 635 A mapping is a YAML collection defined by unordered key/value pairs with 636 unique keys. By default YAML mappings are loaded into Perl hashes. 637 638 a mapping: 639 foo: bar 640 two: times two is 4 641 642 =item sequence 643 644 A sequence is a YAML collection defined by an ordered list of elements. By 645 default YAML sequences are loaded into Perl arrays. 646 647 a sequence: 648 - one bourbon 649 - one scotch 650 - one beer 651 652 =item scalar 653 654 A scalar is a YAML node that is a single value. By default YAML scalars 655 are loaded into Perl scalars. 656 657 a scalar key: a scalar value 658 659 YAML has many styles for representing scalars. This is important because 660 varying data will have varying formatting requirements to retain the 661 optimum human readability. 662 663 =item plain scalar 664 665 A plain scalar is unquoted. All plain scalars are automatic candidates 666 for "implicit tagging". This means that their tag may be determined 667 automatically by examination. The typical uses for this are plain alpha 668 strings, integers, real numbers, dates, times and currency. 669 670 - a plain string 671 - -42 672 - 3.1415 673 - 12:34 674 - 123 this is an error 675 676 =item single quoted scalar 677 678 This is similar to Perl's use of single quotes. It means no escaping 679 except for single quotes which are escaped by using two adjacent 680 single quotes. 681 682 - 'When I say ''\n'' I mean "backslash en"' 683 684 =item double quoted scalar 685 686 This is similar to Perl's use of double quotes. Character escaping can 687 be used. 688 689 - "This scalar\nhas two lines, and a bell -->\a" 690 691 =item folded scalar 692 693 This is a multiline scalar which begins on the next line. It is 694 indicated by a single right angle bracket. It is unescaped like the 695 single quoted scalar. Line folding is also performed. 696 697 - > 698 This is a multiline scalar which begins on 699 the next line. It is indicated by a single 700 carat. It is unescaped like the single 701 quoted scalar. Line folding is also 702 performed. 703 704 =item block scalar 705 706 This final multiline form is akin to Perl's here-document except that 707 (as in all YAML data) scope is indicated by indentation. Therefore, no 708 ending marker is required. The data is verbatim. No line folding. 709 710 - | 711 QTY DESC PRICE TOTAL 712 --- ---- ----- ----- 713 1 Foo Fighters $19.95 $19.95 714 2 Bar Belles $29.95 $59.90 715 716 =item parser 717 718 A YAML processor has four stages: parse, load, dump, emit. 719 720 A parser parses a YAML stream. YAML.pm's Load() function contains a 721 parser. 722 723 =item loader 724 725 The other half of the Load() function is a loader. This takes the 726 information from the parser and loads it into a Perl data structure. 727 728 =item dumper 729 730 The Dump() function consists of a dumper and an emitter. The dumper 731 walks through each Perl data structure and gives info to the emitter. 732 733 =item emitter 734 735 The emitter takes info from the dumper and turns it into a YAML stream. 736 737 NOTE: 738 In YAML.pm the parser/loader and the dumper/emitter code are currently 739 very closely tied together. In the future they may be broken into 740 separate stages. 741 742 =back 743 744 For more information please refer to the immensely helpful YAML 745 specification available at L<http://www.yaml.org/spec/>. 746 747 =head1 ysh - The YAML Shell 748 749 The YAML distribution ships with a script called 'ysh', the YAML shell. 750 ysh provides a simple, interactive way to play with YAML. If you type in 751 Perl code, it displays the result in YAML. If you type in YAML it turns 752 it into Perl code. 753 754 To run ysh, (assuming you installed it along with YAML.pm) simply type: 755 756 ysh [options] 757 758 Please read the C<ysh> documentation for the full details. There are 759 lots of options. 760 761 =head1 BUGS & DEFICIENCIES 762 763 If you find a bug in YAML, please try to recreate it in the YAML Shell 764 with logging turned on ('ysh -L'). When you have successfully reproduced 765 the bug, please mail the LOG file to the author (ingy@cpan.org). 766 767 WARNING: This is still *ALPHA* code. Well, most of this code has been 768 around for years... 769 770 BIGGER WARNING: YAML.pm has been slow in the making, but I am committed 771 to having top notch YAML tools in the Perl world. The YAML team is close 772 to finalizing the YAML 1.1 spec. This version of YAML.pm is based off of 773 a very old pre 1.0 spec. In actuality there isn't a ton of difference, 774 and this YAML.pm is still fairly useful. Things will get much better in 775 the future. 776 777 =head1 RESOURCES 778 779 L<http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/yaml-core> is the mailing 780 list.
