YAML

(article restored from a previous version)

YAML (rhymes with "camel") is a readable text format for data structures.

YAML and Rails:

• DebugWithYAML
• using YAML fixtures for unit testing
• ActiveRecordYamlFixtures

Create your own YAML configuration file:

require 'yaml'

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

  before_filter :configure_app
# Your code here…
def configure_app
@config = YAML::load(File.open(“#{RAILS_ROOT}/config/config.yml”))
end
end
