-# yaml_extend
-
-Extends YAML to support file based inheritance.
-
-That can be very handy to build a configuration hierachy.
-
-## Installation
-
-Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
-
-```ruby
-gem 'yaml_extend'
-```
-
-And then execute:
-
-    $ bundle install
-
-Or install it yourself as:
-
-    $ gem install yaml_extend
-    
-## Common information
-
-It is possible to build inheritance trees like
-```
-default.yml   english.yml          default.yml   german.yml         de.yml
-         \    /                             \    /                    |
-          uk.yml                            de.yml                  at.yml
-```
-
-A file can inherit from as many as you want. Trees can be nested as deep as you want.
-
-YAML files are deep merged, the latest specified child file overwrites the former ones.
-Array values are merged as well by default. You can specifiy this with the 3rd Parameter.
-
-The files to inherit from are specified by the key 'extends:' in the YAML file.
-That key can be customized if you prefer another one.
-See the examples below.
-
-## Usage
-yaml_extend adds the method YAML#ext_load_file to YAML.
-
-This method works like the original YAML#load_file, by extending it with file inheritance.
-
-### Examples
-
-#### Basic Inheritance
-Given the following both files are defined:
-
-```yaml
-# start.yml
-extends: 'super.yml'
-data:
-    name: 'Mr. Superman'
-    age: 134    
-    favorites:
-        - 'Raspberrys'
-```
-
-```yaml
-# super.yml
-data:
-    name: 'Unknown'
-    power: 2000
-    favorites:
-        - 'Bananas'
-        - 'Apples'
-```
-
-When you then call #ext_load_file
-
-```ruby
-YAML.ext_load_file 'start.yml'
-```
-
-the returned YAML value results in
-
-```yaml
-data:
-    name: 'Mr. Superman'
-    age: 134
-    power: 2000
-    favorites:
-        - 'Bananas'
-        - 'Apples'
-        - 'Raspberrys'
-```
-
-#### Inherit from several files
-
-If you want to inherit from several files, you can specify a list (Array) of files.
-They are merged from top to bottom, so the latest file "wins" - that means it overwrites duplicate values if they exist with the values in the latest file where they occur.
-
-```yaml
-extends:
-    - 'super_file.yml'
-    - 'parent_file.yml'
-...
-```
-
-#### Using custom extend key
-
-If you don't want to use the default key 'extends:', you can specify your own custom key in two ways.
-
-```yaml
-#custom1.yml
-inherit_from:
-    - 'super_file.yml'
-foo: 'bar'
-...
-```
-##### 1. Specify by parameter
-You can specify the key by parameter, this is the way to go if you want to  use the different key only once or you use the #ext_load_file method only once in your application.
-```ruby
-YAML.ext_load_file 'custom1.yml', 'inherit_from'
-```
-##### 2. Global configuration of the key
-You can specify the key by configuration globally. So you only need to set the key once and not as parameter anymore
-```ruby
-YAML.ext_load_key = 'inherit_from'
-YAML.ext_load_file 'custom1.yml'
-YAML.ext_load_file 'custom2.yml'
-```
-##### Reset the global key
-To reset the global inheritance key, you can either set it to nil or call the #reset_load_key  method.
-```ruby
-YAML.reset_load_key # more readable
-YAML.ext_load_key = nil # more explicit
-```
-#### Using custom nested extend key
-```yaml
-#custom2.yml
-options:
-    extend_file: 'super_file.yml'
-    database: false
-foo: 'bar'
-...
-```
-
-```ruby
-YAML.ext_load_file 'custom2.yml', ['options','extend_file']
-```
-
-## Documentation
-YAML#ext_load_file(yaml_path, inheritance_key='extends', extend_existing_arrays=true, config = {})
-
-- *yaml_path* relative or absolute path to yaml file to inherit from
-- *inheritance_key* you can overwrite the default key, if you use the default 'extends' already as part of your configuration. The inheritance_key is NOT included, that means it will be deleted, in the final merged file. Default: 'extends'
-- *extend_existing_arrays* Extends existing arrays in yaml structure instead of replacing them. Default: true
-- *config* only intended to be used by the method itself due recursive algorithm
