This enables the resolution of YAML looking like this:
to resolve as:
In other words, if an alias contains a
/
character, it is resolved as follows:/
character./
separated path to the target node.Put together, this means that all existing valid YAML continues to have the exact same meaning as before, but it's possible for an alias to point at nodes within a structure with an anchor. As with anchors, JS equality is maintained across aliased values, so e.g. this works:
In the implementation, this currently requires tracking some additional nodes during the native value composition, but a later optimisation should be able to reduce the impact of that.
This feature is not yet in the YAML spec, and so requires using
version: 'next'
as an option. Its implementation is also not guaranteed to follow semver.
