introduce Tag class #43

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently (version 1.5) SnakeYAML is using simple Strings to represent tags.
Even though it works it would be more flexible and safe to introduce a 
special class for tags.

Done.
Very low level stuff (Scanner, Parser, Events) still use strings. The tag can 
be null 
there.
Nodes and public interface should only use Tag class. A Tag instance can never 
be null.

Unfortunately the change breaks backwards-compatibility. In order to satisfy 
compiler 
we have to use 'new Tag("!!str")' instead of simple '"!!str"'.
