Jifty::DBI::Filter::YAML - This filter stores arbitrary Perl via YAML

       Andrew Sterling Hanenkamp <hanenkamp@cpan.org>

       This filter provides the ability to store arbitrary data structures into a database column using YAML.
       This is very similar to the Jifty::DBI::Filter::Storable filter except that the YAML format remains
       human-readable in the database. You can store virtually any Perl data, scalar, hash, array, or object
       into the database using this filter.

       In addition, YAML (at least the storage of scalars, hashes, and arrays) is compatible with data
       structures written in other languages, so you may store or read data between applications written in
       different languages.

       This class will attempt to use YAML::Syck if it is available and then fall back upon YAML. This has been
       done because the Syck library is written in C and is considerably faster.

       This program is free software and may be modified or distributed under the same terms as Perl itself.

encode
       This method is used to encode the Perl data structure into YAML formatted text.

   decode
       This method is used to decode the YAML formatted text from the database into the Perl data structure.
