Subject: Building custom objects from YAML

Hi,

If I start by a human-written block of data, such as ITEMS below, is it possible to deserialize these into objects of type Item? How might this be done?

Thanks for any help,
James


ITEMS = %q{
---
item:
 - name:      blah
 - type:      blah
 - location:  blah
}

class Item

  attr_accessor :name
  attr_accessor :type
  attr_accessor :location
  
  def initialize
    @name = ""
    @type = ""
    @location = ""
  end
   
end
