Reusing Serializer instance errors about sharpyaml HOT 5 CLOSED

I see that it has to do with the EmitAlias value that by default is true, if I set it to false, it does not pass.

I don't understand the use of EmitAlias, what is it for?

from sharpyaml.

But is there a way to make a change (and create a PR) to be able to reuse the instance with EmitAlias to true?

Oh sorry, yes, the dictionary are in the AnchorSerializer:

so in the SerializerSettings you could add a bool in that says e.g "ResetAlias", and in the Serializer class, clear the AnchorSerializer if necessary after a Serialize/Deserialize call. (The AnchorSerializer is embedded in a RoutingSerializer, you will figure this out).

Yes, afair, EmitAlias is the only thing that makes the Serializer not reusable by default as it is storing references. Emit Alias is the feature of YAML where if you emit an object multiple times, it will use anchor/reference instead of duplicating the object in the output YAML.

The default has been like this since ages. It's probably not great, but well, you can turn it off, so let's keep it that way.

If you guide me a bit where to look I can try, otherwise it would be to make a PR of the Readme.md indicating it so at least that whoever uses it knows it.
