# YAML::PP::Schema::Binary

Schema for loading and binary data

## SYNOPSIS

```perl
use YAML::PP;
my $yp = YAML::PP->new( schema => [qw/ + Binary /] );
# or

my ($binary, $same_binary) = $yp->load_string(<<'EOM');
--- !!binary "\

EOM
```

## DESCRIPTION

See &lt;https://yaml.org/type/binary.html>

By prepending a base64 encoded binary string with the `!!binary` tag, it can
be automatically decoded when loading.

Note that the logic for dumping is probably broken, see
[https://github.com/perlpunk/YAML-PP-p5/issues/28](https://github.com/perlpunk/YAML-PP-p5/issues/28).

Suggestions welcome.
