# Dancer::Serializer::YAML(3pm)

serializer for handling YAML data

## NAME

Dancer::Serializer::YAML - serializer for handling YAML data

## VERSION

version 1.3521

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

This class is an interface between Dancer's serializer engine abstraction layer and the YAML (or YAML::XS) module.

In order to use this engine, use the template setting:

```
    serializer: YAML
```

This can be done in your config.yml file or directly in your app code with the **set** keyword. This serializer will also be used when the serializer is set to **mutable** and the correct Accept headers are supplied.

By default, the module YAML will be used to serialize/deserialize data and the application configuration files. This can be changed via the configuration:

```
    engines:
        YAML:
            module: YAML::XS
```

Note that if you want all configuration files to be read using `"YAML::XS"`,  that configuration has to be set via application code:

```
   config->{engines}{YAML}{module} = 'YAML::XS';
```

## METHODS

### serialize

Serialize a data structure to a YAML structure.

### deserialize

Deserialize a YAML structure to a data structure

### content\_type

Return 'text/x-yaml'
