Hi! Thanks for your input!
As far as I know (I don't use YAML regularly, though) YAML is another serialization for similar structures (nested dict/list like) than JSON. As YAML
objects can be used through indexing, and as your example shows, it already works with jsonpatch
. Therefore I am not quite sure which additional functionality you'd need. Can you give some example?
My use case:
This is actually very easy to do with minimal code using ruamel (which preserves comments, unlike pyyaml):
yields:
which is nice
I would like to put a convenient (if trivial) interface on top of this. I could
I suspect (1) would be preferred but thought I would check first. Feel free to close this issue, and I will go ahead with (1), and post a link here when done.
Aside:
I note there is a lib https://github.com/krishicks/yaml-patch from @krishicks but this seems abandoned, and also duplicative. If I go ahead with (1) I wouldn't duplicate any code, just wrap as in the example above
There is also https://github.com/campos-ddc/yaml-patch from @campos-ddc which looks great, but this isn't intended to support the json-patch standard
