Badger...c::YAML(3pm)

💖 Badger::Codec::YAML 💖

okay bestie, welcome to Badger::Codec::YAML — it's a Perl 3pm page, it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it is literally here to turn your data into YAML and back again. no drama, no cap. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

Badger::Codec::YAML — encode/decode data using YAML 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Badger::Codec::YAML;
my $codec   = Badger::Codec::YAML->new();
my $encoded = $codec->encode("Hello World");
my $decoded = $codec->decode($encoded);

see how cute that is? three lines and you're slaying. 🎀

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

This module implements a subclass of Badger::Codec which uses the YAML module to encode and decode data to and from YAML.

so it's giving inheritance. it's giving delegation. it's giving "I don't do the work myself, I just know a guy." and the guy is YAML. iconic behaviour honestly. 👑

---

👑 METHODS 👑

💫 encode($data)

Encodes $data to YAML. ✨

$encoded = Badger::Codec::YAML->encode($data);

💫 decode($data)

Decodes $data from YAML. 🌈

$decoded = Badger::Codec::YAML->decode($encoded);

💫 encoder()

This method returns a reference to the real subroutine that's doing all the encoding work, i.e. the Dump() subroutine in YAML.

ngl it's the middle-manager of methods. it doesn't encode. it just points at the person who does. 💅

💫 decoder()

This method returns a reference to the real subroutine that's doing all the decoding work, i.e. the Load() subroutine in YAML.

same energy, other direction. it knows a guy for that too. 🙈
