Overview
The process of serialization to YAML is rendering an in-memory data structure as a YAML-formatted string. The simplest sequence of statements that does that is:
import yaml
data = {
'color': 'red',
'size': 10,
'parts': ['top', 'middle', 'bottom']
}
yaml_string = yaml.dump(data)
The YAML-formatted string will be:
color: red
parts:
- top
- middle
- bottom
size: 10
