DESCRIPTION

This is a serializer engine that allows you to turn Perl data structures into Data::Dumper output and vice-versa.

Since version 2.2.0 of Dancer2, the Dumper serializer is no longer shipped as part of the core framework, but is available as its own CPAN distribution, Dancer2-Serializer-Dumper. Install this distribution if you want to use it, and add its dependencies to your application.

SECURITY

The deserialize method evaluates the content as Perl code, inside a Safe compartment. Safe is not a real security sandbox, so this serializer must never be used to deserialize untrusted input. Dancer2's Dancer2::Serializer::Mutable serializer therefore leaves the Dumper serializer disabled by default: if you really want to opt in to it, you must set enable_dumper in your Mutable serializer configuration, and you must have this distribution installed.

METHODS
