Dancer2...er::YAML(3)

💖 Dancer2::Serializer::YAML 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Dancer2::Serializer::YAML — yes that's the whole name, it's giving "I contain multitudes" — and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your friendly neighbourhood man setup. sit down, grab a strawberry, we're doing YAML. 🍓✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Dancer2::Serializer::YAML — the serializer that handles YAML data. that's it, that's the whole job description, and she does it gorgeously. 💅

---

⭐ VERSION ⭐

version 2.2.1 — periodt. 💜

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: you've got a Perl data structure. gorgeous. iconic. very main character. and you want it to become YAML. orrrrr the reverse — someone hands you a YAML blob and you need it to be a real live Perl data structure.

that's literally what this is. it's a serializer engine that lets you turn Perl data structures into YAML output, and vice-versa. both directions. we love a two-way street. 🔥

---

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

content_type

returns 'text/x-yaml'. that's the vibe. that's the MIME type. no notes. ✨

---

👑 METHODS 👑

serialize($content)

serializes a data structure into a YAML structure. Perl in, YAML out. 💖

deserialize($content)

deserializes a YAML structure into a data structure. YAML in, Perl out. 🦋

---

🌈 FUNCTIONS 🌈

fom_yaml($content)

ok so yes, it's spelled fom_yaml and not from_yaml. that is not me being chaotic, that is literally what the function is called. type it exactly like that, bestie, or nothing will happen and you'll be sad. 😭

this one is a helper available to transform a YAML data structure into a Perl data structure. handy little thing. 🫶

to_yaml($content)

another helper, this time available to transform a Perl data structure into YAML.

⚠️ heads up, and this is important: calling this function will NOT trigger the serialization's hooks. so if you were counting on hooks firing, she said no. 💀
