    os.Exit(1)
  }
  defer file.Close()

  document := new(interface{})
  decoder := candiedyaml.NewDecoder(file)
  err = decoder.Decode(document)
  
  if err != nil {
    println("Failed to decode document:", err.Error())
  }
  
  println("parsed yml into interface:", fmt.Sprintf("%#v", document))
  
  fileToWrite, err := os.Create("path/to/some/new/file.yml")
  if err != nil {
    println("Failed to open file for writing:", err.Error())

  encoder := candiedyaml.NewEncoder(fileToWrite)
  err = encoder.Encode(document)

  if err != nil {
