dump

public String dump(Object data)

Serialize a Java object into a YAML String.

data - Java object to be Serialized to YAML

Returns:

YAML String

represent

public Node represent(Object data)

Produce the corresponding representation tree for a given Object.

Parameters:

data - instance to build the representation tree for

Returns:

representation tree

See Also:

http://yaml.org/spec/1.1/#id859333

dumpAll

public String dumpAll(Iterator<? extends Object> data)

Serialize a sequence of Java objects into a YAML String.

Parameters:

data - Iterator with Objects

Returns:

YAML String with all the objects in proper sequence

dump

public void dump(Object data,
                 Writer output)

Serialize a Java object into a YAML stream.

Parameters:

data - Java object to be serialized to YAML

output - stream to write to

dumpAll

public void dumpAll(Iterator<? extends Object> data,
                    Writer output)

Serialize a sequence of Java objects into a YAML stream.

Parameters:

data - Iterator with Objects

output - stream to write to

dumpAs

public String dumpAs(Object data,
                     Tag rootTag,
                     DumperOptions.FlowStyle flowStyle)

Serialize a Java object into a YAML string. Override the default root tag with rootTag.

This method is similar to Yaml.dump(data) except that the root tag for the whole document is replaced with the given tag. This has two main uses.

First, if the root tag is replaced with a standard YAML tag, such as Tag.MAP, then the object will be dumped as a map. The root tag will appear as !!map, or blank (implicit !!map).

Second, if the root tag is replaced by a different custom tag, then the document appears to be a different type when loaded. For example, if an instance of MyClass is dumped with the tag !!YourClass, then it will be handled as an instance of YourClass when loaded.

Parameters:

data - Java object to be serialized to YAML

rootTag - the tag for the whole YAML document. The tag should be Tag.MAP for a JavaBean to make the tag disappear (to use implicit tag !!map). If null is provided then the standard tag with the full class name is used.

flowStyle - flow style for the whole document. See Chapter 10. Collection Styles http://yaml.org/spec/1.1/#id930798. If null is provided then the flow style from DumperOptions is used.

Returns:

YAML String

dumpAsMap

public String dumpAsMap(Object data)

Serialize a Java object into a YAML string. Override the default root tag with Tag.MAP.

This method is similar to Yaml.dump(data) except that the root tag for the whole document is replaced with Tag.MAP tag (implicit !!map).

Block Mapping is used as the collection style. See 10.2.2. Block Mappings (http://yaml.org/spec/1.1/#id934537)

Parameters:

data - Java object to be serialized to YAML

Returns:

YAML String

serialize

Returns:

Event list
