YAML::PP is a modular YAML processor. It aims to support 'YAML 1.2' and 'YAML 1.1'. See https://yaml.org/. Some (rare) syntax elements are not yet supported and documented below. YAML is a serialization language. The YAML input is called "YAML Stream". A stream consists of one or more "Documents", separated by a line with a document start marker '---'. A document optionally ends with the document end marker '...'. This allows one to process continuous streams additionally to a fixed input file or string. The YAML::PP frontend will currently load all documents, and return only the first if called with scalar context. The YAML backend is implemented in a modular way that allows one to add custom handling of YAML tags, perl objects and data types. The inner API is not yet stable. Suggestions welcome.
