Replace lockfile format with JSON?

[isaacabraham]

We can simplify the code for reading and writing of the lockfile if we create a lockfile record and just use Newtonsoft JSON to handle the serialization (since v6 it has native support for F#).

actually I'm very happy with format. It's exactly the same as bundler

I have to admit I like the readability of the current format. Simple, no distractions like braces to satisfy a tool.

Yeah, true - my thinking is more around whether this is file designed to be read / written by people first and foremost (as is the case with the packages.fsx) or by Paket.exe? If the former - definitely makes sense to keep as is. If the latter - maybe not.

It's meant to be read by people. You will always cross check before commit.

👍, I read it all the time to reason about paket's computation results.

[isaacabraham]

Closing :-)

@forki Question - if the whole point of paket is to abstract users away from uber dependency chains - why would you cross check before commit?

[forki]

We want to make it super clear for the user to see what happens in his
solution.
We don't want to free him from dependency management.
