Examples

This example demonstrates how to use the ToYaml extension method to convert an ExceptionDescriptor to a YAML string representation with two different sensitivity configurations. It shows the workflow: catching an exception with an inner exception, wrapping it in an ExceptionDescriptor, and then calling ToYaml() twice—first with default settings to observe minimal details, then with expanded settings to show stack traces, data, and evidence. The observable outcome shows how the same exception appears differently in YAML format depending on the configured FaultSensitivityDetails flags.
