NAME

YAML::Tiny::LikeJSON - Use YAML::Tiny like JSON

VERSION

version 0.0011

SYNOPSIS

use YAML::Tiny::LikeJSON;

my $yaml = YAML::Tiny::LikeJSON->new;

my $data = $yaml->decode( <<_END_ );
apple: 1
banana:
    - 1
    - 2
    - 3
_END_

print $yaml->encode( $data );
# Prints out the following: (without the '---' document separator)
# apple: 1
# banana:
#     - 1
#     - 2
#     - 3
_END_

DESCRIPTION

YAML::Tiny::LikeJSON provides a way to encode/decode YAML (Tiny) in a way similar to how JSON.pm works.

It will only deal with one YAML document at a time, so if you try to decode more than one document, it will ignore every document but the first (and issue a warning at the same time). For example:

YAML::Tiny::LikeJSON->decode( <<_END_ );
apple: 1
---
banana: 2
_END_

# The above will emit the following warning:

Decoded more than 1 document (actually 2, but only returning the first)

USAGE

$yaml = YAML::Tiny::LikeJSON->new

Create a handle for invoking encode/decode

Does not accept any arguments or options (for now)

$document = YAML::Tiny::LikeJSON->encode( $data )

$document = $yaml->encode( $data )

Return a YAML encoded string representing $data

The returned string will not have the leading YAML document separator (---)

$data = YAML::Tiny::LikeJSON->decode( $document )

$data = $yaml->encode( $document )

Return some Perl data representing $document

Will only return data from the first document. Data from following documents will be discarded (with a warning)
