Support mutli-document YAML files #43

Open Wikiwix opened 2 years ago

Wikiwix commented 2 years ago

For YAMLs it would be great to be able to compare mutli-document files.

For JSON potentially ndjson could be supported, too.

This is an interesting idea. How do you imagine this would look like on the commandline? And how would it treat the order of the documents with the A and B inputs?

I suppose we could just read a multi-document file (YAML or JSON) and push that into a jsonArray time. Then we can let the user supply keys to match up documents (existing feature).

Sounds good to me, the list should per default handled as multiset (-mset) though, because the YAML documents do not have an order, but "repetitions" matter
