YAML::Tiny is a perl class for reading and writing YAML-style files,
|
||
|
|
written with as little code as possible, reducing load time and
|
||
|
|
memory overhead.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most of the time it is accepted that Perl applications use a lot
|
||
|
|
of memory and modules. The ::Tiny family of modules is specifically
|
||
|
|
intended to provide an ultralight and zero-dependency alternative
|
||
|
|
to many more-thorough standard modules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module is primarily for reading human-written files (like
|
||
|
|
simple config files) and generating very simple human-readable
|
||
|
|
files. Note that I said human-readable and not geek-readable. The
|
||
|
|
sort of files that your average manager or secretary should be able
|
||
|
|
to look at and make sense of.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
YAML::Tiny does not generate comments, it won't necesarily preserve
|
||
|
|
the order of your hashes, and it will normalise if reading in and
|
||
|
|
writing out again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It only supports a very basic subset of the full YAML specification.
