Decode a YAML serialized object

Question

I have serialized an object in YAML and send it to a remote worker.

The worker doesent have the object definition so i get a YAML::Object.

How can i access the field inside it?

A text field seems like that base64 encoded, how can i decode that? (no, decode64 not works).

Answer 1

you can pass the object as something "known between both sides" (like an openstruct or hash) or give the description to the client.

It would be interesting to have a serialization format that also serialized the class and its methods...I'll have to think about that one...
