JSON + Yaml Format #151

Closed jcampbell05 closed 7 years ago

jcampbell05 commented 7 years ago

Struct has support for JSON and Yaml, we should probably add it too

I would love to see it in JSON, but any format is okay. IMHO it does not matter which format the spec is uses. the more important is what the tool allows you to do, how stable and reliable it is. Learning new spec format is not a big deal for newcomers, whatever it is - YAML, JSON or Ruby. Again, I think we should focus on know issues and most wanted features than on convenience extensions. I think it's, at least, unnecessary at current point to spend manpower on this feature. Also I do not see much value supporting multiple formats, that does not bring any functional value.

I guess as long as the Ruby format stays easy enough to understand :) If people decide they need it then we can do it.

Fair enough!
