option for yaml output instead of json #35

YAML is a is a human friendly data serialization standard. As there is a javascript library for that, it should be easy to implement.

the lib you linked to seems to be to parse YAML, not to generate YAML from JSON or a js object, do you think that this one would be a acceptable replacement? You need the YAML output just for the readability right?

no, it also serialises into YAML

how about relying on an external converter like json2yaml?

npm install -g json2yaml
wd data Q123 | json2yaml
