Hi Elliot,
I remember having asked info about a possible YAML serialization format on the Slack Xml.com channel one year ago.
They don't really have a nice opinion about Yaml and no-one
looked really interested in supporting it.
Thus I think there are philosophy matters here :-)
I found myself needing to operate on some YAML documents and tried to find an XQuery YAML parser and did not find one, at least not one of sufficient completeness.
It seems like kind of an obvious missing thing in the XQuery world so just curious if I missed something?
I don’t have time myself to write one—it can’t be that hard but it’s not that critical of a need for me. I ended up using the Python PyYAML library, which let me quickly convert YAML to JSON, which then I could of course process just fine with XQuery.
Thanks,
E.
