safeDump returns AST data as yaml

[amccloud]

Since safeLoad loads yaml to an AST I would expect safeDump to be the inverse.

YAML

hello: World

AST

{ errors: [],
  startPosition: 0,
  endPosition: 12,
  mappings:
   [ { key: [Object],
       value: [Object],
       startPosition: 0,
       endPosition: 12,
       kind: 1,
       parent: [Circular],
       errors: [] } ],
  kind: 2,
  parent: null }

Expected safeDump

hello: World

Actual safeDump

&ref_1
errors: []
startPosition: 0
endPosition: 12
mappings:
  - &ref_0key:
      errors: []
      startPosition: 0
      endPosition: 5
      value: hello
      kind: 0
      parent: *ref_0
      doubleQuoted: false
      plainScalar: true
    value:
      errors: []
      startPosition: 7
      endPosition: 12
      value: World
      kind: 0
      parent: *ref_0
      doubleQuoted: false
      plainScalar: true
    startPosition: 0
    endPosition: 12
    kind: 1
    parent: *ref_1
    errors: []
kind: 2
parent: null

Hi @amccloud thanks for bringing this in at this moment AST dumping functionality is still located at https://github.com/raml-org/raml-js-parser-2. I will move it to this repo as soon as will have a moment to do more cleanup.

Regards,
Pavel

any update on this @petrochenko-pavel-a? we want to use safeDump() in another project.

@pedrotokarski any update on this? We really could use a way to go back to the markdown from AST...

Any update on this, please? The API looks incomplete if this functionality is missing.
