I'd like like to separate 2 questions. Your work is great, and json really worth to be improved. For example, it's convenient, when you need to keep things simple (for very small files), or keep speed very fast.
The second question, about bad yaml uptake, is ralated to lack of good libraries for node.js. Just because project is still young. Some libs are quite complicated, and takes a lot of time to do. But we did pyyaml port, and you can play with it here https://github.com/nodeca/js-yaml (there is online demo). I can bet, that once you start use yaml, you will newer wish to return back :) понедельник, 28 мая 2012 г., 18:13:40 UTC+4 пользователь Aseem Kishore написал: > > Great question.
