public class YamlEmitter
extends AbstractYamlProcessor<YamlEmitter>

Responsible for converting a YamlNode AST back into a valid YAML string.This emitter is high-fidelity: it prioritizes preserving the original CollectionStyle and QuoteStyle of nodes while ensuring that comments are placed correctly relative to their owner nodes.

Indentation Logic

The emitter maintains a virtual column through the indent parameters passed during recursive calls. It handles special cases like "compact" sequences where the mapping starts on the same line as the sequence dash (- key: value).
