Converting string to hash using YAML parsing
The YAML.safe_load method is used to parse a YAML-formatted string into a hash.
Syntax:
hash = YAML.safe_load(string)
Example: In this example the YAML string is parsed using YAML.safe_load, resulting in a hash containing the key-value pairs from the YAML data
require 'yaml'
# Define a YAML string
yaml_string = "---\nname: John\nage: 30\ncity: New York\n"
# Convert YAML string to a hash
hash = YAML.safe_load(yaml_string)
puts hash
# Output: {"name"=>"John", "age"=>30, "city"=>"New York"}
Output
{"name"=>"John", "age"=>30, "city"=>"New York"}
