First of all, thanks for this library. It's been great and has got me out of some sticky situations where serde is not flexible enough. Much appreciated.
This PR makes a change to ensure typing between loading and emitting.
Problem
Consider the following YAML:
example: "0x00"
After one round of YamlLoader -> YamlEmitter the YAML is now:
example: 0x00
After a second round the YAML is then:
example: 0
The YAML has now changed significantly and information has been lost.
Solution
I added an emitter.escape_all_strings(bool) function which forces all YAML::String nodes to be wrapped in double-quotes.
I would be interested on your opinion on two points:
I would have used single-quotes, however it seemed much simpler to use double-quotes. I am not a YAML expert and I would be interested to hear of any side-effects.
The key is now wrapped in double-quotes too (e.g., "example": "0x00"). I am not sure if this has side-effects too.
Thank you for you time, happy to make changes as you require.
