Good news for yaml, but still very slow, because yaml is too comlex. In example, i converted yaml samples to tree format (https://github.com/nin-jin/node-jin#tree) with type hints (date, number, link to subtree, string is default), and compared perfomance. ==

Jacob, We've used this same dependency injection approach in our code with great success, both from a runtime and testing standpoint. In your example you make the "light dependencies" distinction which we do as well. For me I usually treat modules that expose pure functions (underscore or async)

First, it's awesome that we're talking about dependency injection. Second, I believe *good* dependency injection requires inversion of control . Your modules should not directly require dependencies if possible, rather design them to accept their

i guess only by try and error. if you want to put the content of the file to json, you will use encoding anyway, because json is a text format. so, i don't know what kind of data is in the files, but i would just use utf8 and see if anything comes out of it. Am Dienstag, 22. Januar 2013 11:54:1
