For a lot of my python stuff configs are in .yml.
I'm currently using pyyaml to a dict and pulling it in that way but if it could read it directly, that'd be cool.
That being said, I understand that the yaml spec is a large undertaking.
@vince_faller interesting idea. We would like to understand better how a JMP user would or could use a YAML file in their work. Also, this seems like a really good candidate for a JMP Script/Addin to prototype and illustrate the value. Do you have something like that already?
My immediate use is piggybacking off my gitlab-ci.yml in order to grab the parameters of the pipeline. For long term stuff I'd say that lots of configs are in yml because it's basically a JSON that allows commenting with a more human readable format. Currently in JSL we only really have two options for configs that I know of but there are problems for both.
When I was at predictum I looked at a bunch of configs and I'll give my opinionated view of the other options
