FR: support YAML schema validation #130

Open ramiromagno opened 1 year ago

ramiromagno commented 1 year ago

Example: The GWAS Catalog Summary Statistics Format (GWAS-SSF)

The metadata YAML file of the GWAS-SSF standard obeys a schema standard.

Seemingly this validation can be achieved with https://github.com/23andMe/Yamale, a python tool.

How hard would it be to perform this in R?

It would be quite difficult with the way the library is structured. The library is built around a yaml1.1 parser library that has not made the transition to yaml1.2.
