I can certainly imagine that as a BaseX feature YAML parsing has to be pretty low on the list.
There’s got to be a Java library that does it but then somebody has to integrate that library, document it, test it, maintain it…. I was really just curious about a pure-XQuery YAML parser implementation… Cheers, E. _____________________________________________ Eliot Kimber Sr Staff Content Engineer O: 512 554 9368 M: 512 554 9368 servicenow.com<https://www.servicenow.com> LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/servicenow> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/servicenow> | YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/user/servicenowinc> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/servicenow> From: BaseX-Talk <basex-talk-boun...@mailman.uni-konstanz.de> on behalf of Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex <gerrit.imsi...@le-tex.de> Date: Tuesday, July 26, 2022 at 12:15 PM To: basex-talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de <basex-talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de> Subject: Re: [basex-talk] BaseX YAML Parser?
