# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

Encodes a scalar, hash reference or array reference as YAMLish.

# [METHODS](#METHODS)

## [Class Methods](#Class_Methods)

*"new"*

```
 my $writer = TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer->new;
```

The constructor "new" creates and returns an empty "TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer" object.

## [Instance Methods](#Instance_Methods)

*"write"*

```
 $writer->write($obj, $output );
```

Encode a scalar, hash reference or array reference as YAML.

```
    my $writer = sub {
        my $line = shift;
        print SOMEFILE "$line\n";
    };
    
    my $data = {
        one => 1,
        two => 2,
        three => [ 1, 2, 3 ],
    };
    
    my $yw = TAP::Parser::YAMLish::Writer->new;
    $yw->write( $data, $writer );
```

The $output argument may be:

- a reference to a scalar to append YAML to
- the handle of an open file
- a reference to an array into which YAML will be pushed
- a code reference

If you supply a code reference the subroutine will be called once for each line of output with the line as its only argument. Passed lines will have no trailing newline.
