YAML::P...:Binary(3)

🎀 NAME 🎀

ok so this is YAML::PP::Schema::Binary — the schema for loading and binary data. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it handles binary stuff so you don't have to 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, here's how you actually use it:

    use YAML::PP;
    my $yp = YAML::PP->new( schema => [qw/ + Binary /] );
    # or

    my ($binary, $same_binary) = $yp->load_string(<<'EOM');
    --- !!binary "\
      R0lGODlhDAAMAIQAAP//9/X17unp5WZmZgAAAOfn515eXvPz7Y6OjuDg4J+fn5\

    # The binary value above is a tiny arrow encoded as a gif image.
    EOM

like, both of those blobs are literally the same tiny arrow gif. iconic. 🏹

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ok so head over to <https://yaml.org/type/binary.html> if you want the deep lore, but here's the tea:

when you prepend a base64 encoded binary string with the "!!binary" tag, it gets automatically decoded when loading. literally magic. ✨

warning bestie: the logic for dumping is probably broken 😭 see <https://github.com/perlpunk/YAML-PP-p5/issues/28> for the receipts.

suggestions welcome! fr fr, if you know how to fix it, speak up 🫶

💅 METHODS 💅

called by YAML::PP::Schema. that's the whole job. main character energy honestly 👑
