# Badger::Codec::YAML(3pm)

encode/decode data using YAML

## NAME

Badger::Codec::YAML - encode/decode data using YAML

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Badger::Codec::YAML;
    my $codec   = Badger::Codec::YAML->new();
    my $encoded = $codec->encode("Hello World");
    my $decoded = $codec->decode($encoded);
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module implements a subclass of Badger::Codec which uses the YAML module to encode and decode data to and from YAML.

## METHODS

### encode($data)

Encodes `$data` to YAML.

```
    $encoded = Badger::Codec::YAML->encode($data);
```

### decode($data)

Decodes `$data` from YAML.

```
    $decoded = Badger::Codec::YAML->decode($encoded);
```

### encoder()

This method returns a reference to the real subroutine that's doing all the encoding work, i.e. the `"Dump()"` subroutine in YAML.

### decoder()

This method returns a reference to the real subroutine that's doing all the decoding work, i.e. the `"Load()"` subroutine in YAML.
