.SH "NAME"
YAML::Any \- Pick a YAML implementation and use it.
.SH "STATUS"
.IX Header "STATUS"
\&\s-1WARNING:\s0 This module will soon be deprecated. The plan is that \s-1YAML\s0.pm itself
will act like an \fIAny\fR module.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 3
\&    use YAML::Any;
\&    $YAML::Indent = 3;
\&    my $yaml = Dump(@objects);
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
There are several \s-1YAML\s0 implementations that support the Dump/Load \s-1API.\s0 This
module selects the best one available and uses it.
.SH "ORDER"
.IX Header "ORDER"
Currently, YAML::Any will choose the first one of these \s-1YAML\s0 implementations
that is installed on your system:
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\s-1YAML::XS\s0
.IP "\(bu" 4
YAML::Syck
.IP "\(bu" 4
YAML::Old
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\s-1YAML\s0
.IP "\(bu" 4
YAML::Tiny
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
If you specify an option like:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    $YAML::Indent = 4;
.Ve
.PP
And YAML::Any is using \s-1YAML::XS,\s0 it will use the proper variable:
\&\f(CW$YAML::XS::Indent\fR.
.SH "SUBROUTINES"
.IX Header "SUBROUTINES"
Like all the \s-1YAML\s0 modules that YAML::Any uses, the following subroutines are
exported by default:
.IP "\(bu" 4
Dump
.IP "\(bu" 4
Load
.PP
and the following subroutines are exportable by request:
.IP "\(bu" 4
DumpFile
.IP "\(bu" 4
LoadFile
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
YAML::Any provides the following class methods.
.ie n .IP """YAML::Any\->order""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWYAML::Any\->order\fR" 4
.IX Item "YAML::Any->order"
This method returns a list of the current possible implementations that
YAML::Any will search for.
.ie n .IP """YAML::Any\->implementation""" 4
.el .IP "\f(CWYAML::Any\->implementation\fR" 4
.IX Item "YAML::Any->implementation"
This method returns the implementation the YAML::Any will use. This result is
obtained by finding the first member of YAML::Any\->order that is either
already loaded in \f(CW%INC\fR or that can be loaded using \f(CW\*(C`require\*(C'\fR. If no
implementation is found, an error will be thrown.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
.SS "DumpFile and LoadFile"
.IX Subsection "DumpFile and LoadFile"
Here is an example for \f(CW\*(C`DumpFile\*(C'\fR:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    #!/usr/bin/perl
\&
\&    use strict;
\&    use warnings;
\&
\&    use YAML::Any qw(DumpFile);
\&
\&    my $ds =
\&    {
\&        array => [5,6,100],
\&        string => "Hello",
\&    };
\&
\&    DumpFile("hello.yml", $ds);
.Ve
.PP
When run, this creates a file called \f(CW\*(C`hello.yml\*(C'\fR in the current working
directory, with the following contents.
.PP
.Vb 6
\&    \-\-\-
\&    array:
\&    \- 5
\&    \- 6
\&    \- 100
\&    string: Hello
.Ve
.PP
In turn, the following \f(CW\*(C`LoadFile\*(C'\fR example, loads the contents from there and
accesses them:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    #!/usr/bin/perl
\&
\&    use strict;
\&    use warnings;
\&
\&    use YAML::Any qw(LoadFile);
\&
\&    my ($ds) = LoadFile("hello.yml");
\&
\&    print "String == \*(Aq", $ds\->{string}, "\*(Aq\en";
.Ve
.PP
Assuming \f(CW\*(C`hello.yml\*(C'\fR exists, and is as created by the \f(CW\*(C`DumpFile\*(C'\fR example,
it prints:
.PP
.Vb 3
\&    $ perl load.pl
\&    String == \*(AqHello\*(Aq
\&    $
.Ve
