Feature request - support .yaml files as well as .json files for input

[oharboe]

It would be simple to support both. Would such a PR be considered?

yaml and json are equivalent, but I find yaml can be easier on the eye:

{ "signal": [
        { "name": "clk",  "wave": "P......" },
        { "name": "bus",  "wave": "x.==.=x", "data": ["head", "body", "tail", "data"] },
        { "name": "wire", "wave": "0.1..0." }
]}

vs

signal:
  - name: clk
    wave: P......
  - name: bus
    wave: x.==.=x
    data:
      - head
      - body
      - tail
      - data
  - name: wire
    wave: 0.1..0.

Is this supported by the official wavedrom project? If not, would you suggest converting the yaml format to json and then passing it on to wavedrom or wavedrom-py?

To my mind wavedrom just uses json as an example, there are any number of ways to represent that datamodel. json, yaml, xml(shudder), TOML(from rust)...

Yes.

However, first I want to try some bigger examples in yaml and see if I still like it :-)
