Example #1 Yaml Example

<?php$addr = array( "given" => "Chris", "family"=> "Dumars", "address"=> array( "lines"=> "458 Walkman Dr. Suite #292", "city"=> "Royal Oak", "state"=> "MI", "postal"=> 48046, ), );$invoice = array ( "invoice"=> 34843, "date"=> "2001-01-23", "bill-to"=> $addr, "ship-to"=> $addr, "product"=> array( array( "sku"=> "BL394D", "quantity"=> 4, "description"=> "Basketball", "price"=> 450, ), array( "sku"=> "BL4438H", "quantity"=> 1, "description"=> "Super Hoop", "price"=> 2392, ), ), "tax"=> 251.42, "total"=> 4443.52, "comments"=> "Late afternoon is best. Backup contact is Nancy Billsmer @ 338-4338.", );// generate a YAML representation of the invoice$yaml = yaml_emit($invoice);var_dump($yaml);// convert the YAML back into a PHP variable$parsed = yaml_parse($yaml);// check that roundtrip conversion produced an equivalent structurevar_dump($parsed == $invoice);?>

The above example will output something similar to:
