Support JSON in addition to YAML

[rynowak]

Some people have hate in their hearts for YAML. It's really cheap for us to support JSON as well as YAML, since YAML can be converted to YAML. https://github.com/aaubry/YamlDotNet/wiki/Samples.ConvertYamlToJson

Additionally, JSON has better support for schema/intellisense

We could do this by making JSON the source of truth and then converting YAML to JSON (always)

since YAML can be converted to YAML.

I think you ment "since YAML can be converted to JSON".

And yes, would love json as the source of truth. But it's now 6 weeks after this issue, so i'm guessing this boat has sailed ... ⛵

No boats have sailed here! This project is just starting, and the last 6 weeks we honestly have been mostly working on documentation and paper cuts that people are running into, no major feature work besides core fundamentals (ex service discovery).

woot! and cheers @spboyer for the PR. Respect, mate 👍

Respect to the entire team, actually 👍

@rynowak @jkotalik - can we close? Did a spike on this with #355 and we didn't merge as YAML was the better choice moving forward.

I think @davidfowl will be really happy to see this closed.

Ok - so summary/answer is: YAML config only. No JSON config support.

yes?
