NAME

YAML::Any - Pick a YAML implementation and use it.

SYNOPSIS

    use YAML::Any;
    $YAML::Indent = 3;
    my $yaml = Dump(@objects);

DESCRIPTION

There are several YAML implementations that support the Dump/Load API. This module selects the best one available and uses it.

ORDER

Currently, YAML::Any will choose the first one of these YAML implementations that is installed on your system:

    YAML::XS
    YAML::Syck
    YAML::Old
    YAML
    YAML::Tiny

OPTIONS

If you specify an option like:

    $YAML::Indent = 4;

And YAML::Any is using YAML::XS, it will use the proper variable: $YAML::XS::Indent.

SUBROUTINES

Like all the YAML modules that YAML::Any uses, the following subroutines are exported by default:

    Dump
    Load

and the following subroutines are exportable by request:

    DumpFile
    LoadFile

METHODS

YAML::Any provides the following class methods.

YAML::Any->order;

This method returns a list of the current possible implementations that YAML::Any will search for.

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 %INC or that can be loaded using require. If no implementation is found, an error will be thrown.
