Hi, as announced in IRC some weeks ago, I'd like to contribute YAML (http://yaml.org/) support for the Configuration component. I have to say, that I didn't looked deeper into the YAML specification and the Configuration component yet.
I think, the spec will be straight forward. The main idea is, to create setting groups based on the hierarchical levels concatenated by a slash (that is allowed for group names). Most interestingly at the moment is, if I can base on existing solutions to read and write YAML files. Till now I found those possibilities: - http://spyc.sourceforge.net: plain PHP code, seems to be used by symfony, Version 0.3, MIT licence - http://pecl.php.net/package/syck PECL extension, version 1.0, PHP licence I don't know yet how spec complete the solutions are and if they support comments - but I'll try to support comment reading and writing. Spontaneously I'd vote for the PHP solution as it is easier to extend (if needed) and perhaps easier to use for people who are restricted to a specific PHP configuration. Questions: - Is the pecl extension a no-go because of the requirement to install the extension? - Is the MIT licence ok for bundling with eZ Components? - Do you know some other solutions to read and write YAML? - Which versions of YAML should be supported? (there are: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 where 1.2 seems to be almost the same like 1.1 only with some very small changes in line break handling) - Any other ideas/comments/wishes?
