perl-YAML-Tiny (read/write YAML files with a little code as possible)
|
|
|
|
The YAML specification is huge. Really, really huge. It contains all the
|
|
functionality of XML, except with flexibility and choice, which makes
|
|
it easier to read, but with a formal specification that is more complex
|
|
than XML.
|
|
|
|
The original pure-Perl implementation YAML costs just over 4 megabytes
|
|
of memory to load. Just like with Windows .ini files (3 meg to load)
|
|
and CSS (3.5 meg to load) the situation is just asking for a YAML::Tiny
|
|
module, an incomplete but correct and usable subset of the functionality,
|
|
in as little code as possible.
|
|
|
|
Like the other ::Tiny modules, YAML::Tiny has no non-core dependencies,
|
|
does not require a compiler to install, is back-compatible to Perl v5.8.1,
|
|
and can be inlined into other modules if needed.
|
|
|
|
In exchange for this adding this extreme flexibility, it provides support
|
|
for only a limited subset of YAML. But the subset supported contains
|
|
most of the features for the more common uses of YAML.
