you must be new at this or have some sort of Stockholm syndrome
:D Not really, but the thing with stockholm syndrom maybe describes me quite well :D. However, if I'd have to decide to do a config file, I would always rather take yaml than json.
i mean, JSON is ugly and has its own problems, but it doesn’t have 6 legal values for boolean types. my opinion is that if you can’t do it in TOML you shouldn’t be doing it in config
ETA: if you like this and it’s useful to you, i don’t want to discourage you. i’ve just been fighting with yaml config all week
Thank you for your feedback.
The good old X vs Y. I think its a matter of use-case and personal preference. The decision to pick yaml is solely because readability, which is, above what toml has to offer with its single-dimension. On the other side, yes, yaml has its own quirks such as primitive boolean (yes, true, on) and whitespace sensitivity;
still, yaml is still preferred type when we're talking devops.
I'll put this on a nice to have list- I'm quite sure the toml OR yaml for that matter, has an option to convert one way or another :)
Update: I've added the issue to the project.
