Annotation of pkgsrc/textproc/p5-YAML-Tiny/DESCR, Revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       abs         1: YAML::Tiny is a perl class for reading and writing YAML-style files,
                      2: written with as little code as possible, reducing load time and
                      3: memory overhead.
                      4:
                      5: Most of the time it is accepted that Perl applications use a lot
                      6: of memory and modules. The ::Tiny family of modules is specifically
                      7: intended to provide an ultralight and zero-dependency alternative
                      8: to many more-thorough standard modules.
                      9:
                     10: This module is primarily for reading human-written files (like
                     11: simple config files) and generating very simple human-readable
                     12: files. Note that I said human-readable and not geek-readable. The
                     13: sort of files that your average manager or secretary should be able
                     14: to look at and make sense of.
                     15:
                     16: YAML::Tiny does not generate comments, it won't necesarily preserve
                     17: the order of your hashes, and it will normalise if reading in and
                     18: writing out again.
                     19:
                     20: It only supports a very basic subset of the full YAML specification.
