.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
A generic node in \s-1YAML\s0 is similar to a plain hash, array, or scalar node
in Perl except that it must also keep track of its type. The type is a
\&\s-1URI\s0 called the \s-1YAML\s0 type tag.
.PP
YAML::Node is a class for generating and manipulating these containers.
A \s-1YAML\s0 node (or ynode) is a tied hash, array or scalar. In most ways it
behaves just like the plain thing. But you can assign and retrieve and
\&\s-1YAML\s0 type tag \s-1URI\s0 to it. For the hash flavor, you can also assign the
order that the keys will be retrieved in. By default a ynode will offer
its keys in the same order that they were assigned.
.PP
YAML::Node has a class method call \fInew()\fR that will return a ynode. You
pass it a regular node and an optional type tag. After that you can
use it like a normal Perl node, but when you YAML::Dump it, the magical
properties will be honored.
.PP
This is how you can control the sort order of hash keys during a \s-1YAML\s0
serialization. By default, \s-1YAML\s0 sorts keys alphabetically. But notice
in the above example that the keys were Dumped in the same order they
were assigned.
.PP
YAML::Node exports a function called \fIynode()\fR. This function returns the tied object so that you can call special methods on it like \->\fIkeys()\fR.
.PP
\&\fIkeys()\fR works like this:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& use YAML;
\& use YAML::Node;
\&
\& %$node = qw(orange orange apple red grape green);
\& $ynode = YAML::Node\->new($node);
\& ynode($ynode)\->keys([\*(Aqgrape\*(Aq, \*(Aqapple\*(Aq]);
\& print Dump $ynode;
.Ve
.PP
produces:
.PP
.Vb 3
\& \-\-\-
\& grape: green
\& apple: red
.Ve
.PP
It tells the ynode which keys and what order to use.
.PP
ynodes will play a very important role in how programs use \s-1YAML\s0. They
are the foundation of how a Perl class can marshall the Loading and
Dumping of its objects.
.PP
The upcoming versions of \s-1YAML\s0.pm will have much more information on this.
