# = yaml/tag.rb: methods for associating a taguri to a class.
#
# Author:: why the lucky stiff
#
module YAML
# A dictionary of taguris which map to
# Ruby classes.
@@tagged_classes = {}
#
# Associates a taguri _tag_ with a Ruby class _cls_. The taguri is used to give types
# to classes when loading YAML. Taguris are of the form:
#
# tag:authorityName,date:specific
#
# The +authorityName+ is a domain name or email address. The +date+ is the date the type
# was issued in YYYY or YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD format. The +specific+ is a name for
# the type being added.
#
# For example, built-in YAML types have 'yaml.org' as the +authorityName+ and '2002' as the
# +date+. The +specific+ is simply the name of the type:
#
# tag:yaml.org,2002:int
# tag:yaml.org,2002:float
# tag:yaml.org,2002:timestamp
#
# The domain must be owned by you on the +date+ declared. If you don't own any domains on the
# date you declare the type, you can simply use an e-mail address.
