* The text which comes from the REST API is valid YAML, not JSON (JSON is a
subset of YAML). You can do
```
var bp = jsyaml.load("services: [{ type:
org.apache.brooklyn.entity.brooklynnode.BrooklynEntityMirror }]");
jsyaml.dump(bp);
```
which will spit out:
```
services:
- type: org.apache.brooklyn.entity.brooklynnode.BrooklynEntityMirror
```
Both of them are YAML, the latter one being idiomatic. But the `yamlPlan`
is not useful in this case because:
* The `yamlPlan` of catalog items is the plan used to create the item, not
example usage. Try dropping `1-server-template:0.9.0-SNAPSHOT` from the default
catalog for example to see what I mean. What should be dropped instead is how
the item is to be used, which is just the `symbolicName:version` pair.
Having the config keys as part of the pasted data is a good idea, but this
is not available from the REST API. It can still be obtained though, for
example [the catalog
docs](https://brooklyn.incubator.apache.org/learnmore/catalog/) extract the
information offline, using the CLI item-lister command.

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 0.8.0
> Reporter: Alex Zbarcea
>
> Applications in Brooklyn are built via composing services. As services are
> available in the catalog, yaml could be constructed much faster if a
> drag'n'drop feature would be available allowing a user to select and drop the
> required entities. Further editing of the yaml would still be necessary, but
> such a feature would also provide basic guidance to the user.
