tag_class( tag, cls )
public

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.
