# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

See &lt;https://yaml.org/type/binary.html&gt;

By prepending a base64 encoded binary string with the "!!binary" tag, it can be automatically decoded when loading.

Note that the logic for dumping is probably broken, see &lt;https://github.com/perlpunk/YAML-PP-p5/issues/28&gt;.

Suggestions welcome.
