Did you hear about this?

An introduction to dictionaries (associative arrays) in MATLAB

Any thoughts on whether this impacts yaml?

MartinKoch123 commented 1 year ago

Hey, I only found the time now to answer. I think the new dictionaries are probably better to represent YAML maps than structs since there are no restrictions on the key. However I won't make it the default now to support older MATLAB versions. Maybe I'll add an option to switch to dictionaries. Thanks for the hint!

Yeah, I wouldn't change anything to soon. The struct has been the main alternative to dictionaries since the beginning so I expect most people including me still use it (I tried containers.Map and gave up on that pretty quick!). I guess it will take a few years before everyone's using dictionaries.
