[LRUG] Best way to serialise a Ruby object?

[Andrew Stewart]

Hola El Rug,

What's the best way these days to serialise a Ruby object for storage in a SQL database field, and de-serialise it back again?

To date I've been using YAML but I've run across a situation where the YAML written by Ruby can't be de-serialised again (due, I think, to Sych versus Psych).

Should I be switching to something other than YAML?

Cheers,
Andy Stewart
