1307 | Addendum/2009: the YAML 1.2 spec is still incomaptible with JSON, even |
|
|
1308 | though the incompatibilities have been documented (and are known to |
|
|
1309 | Brian) for many years and the spec makes explicit claims that YAML is a |
|
|
1310 | superset of JSON. It would be so easy to fix, but apparently, bullying and |
|
|
1311 | corrupting userdata is so much easier. |
