YAML section

[schickling]

Since more and more projects/frameworks are using YAML as their configuration format and it's fairly easy to apply JSON Schema to YAML, I think it would make a lot of sense to add a new section YAML to the schemastore.

Would you be open to this idea? I'd love to contribute a couple of schemas for popular frameworks and tools.

Is there such as thing as YAML Schema? Wouldn't they be able to use any JSON schema? Also, are there any editors/IDEs or validators supporting YAML schemas?

I'm not aware that there is such a thing as "YAML Schema", however you can convert any YAML file to JSON and apply JSON schema and propagate back the validation results/errors. In fact this provides an extremely nice workflow.

Some frameworks even support both a .json and a .yml configuration option, but since schemastore is also used as a "key value store" from e.g. .babelrc to the JSON schema, it would be great if this could also work for YAML. (Example serverless.yml and serverless.json should both refer to the JSON schema of serverless)

should this be closed since we have the YAML language server and PRs like #368?
