YAML turned 25 this year. It is essential to Kubernetes, Docker, Ansible, CI pipelines, and config files for everything in between. That ubiquity is both a gift and a curse: every change risks breaking something, somewhere, silently. So how do you grow a data language that a billion files depend on without risk of catastrophe?
Ingy döt Net helped invent YAML and he now maintains the YAML Specification and The YAML Family (libyaml, go-yaml, PyYAML, YAMLStar, YAMLScript etc). In this talk he'll show how he plans to grow YAML by extension: a plugin system that can deeply affect YAML behavior in completely configurable ways. Plugin APIs include schema association, tab indent, standard functions, comment support include i18n. This is being delivered first to go-yaml with the rest of the Family to follow. The work and its real world feedback will guide future changes to the specification.
Ingy döt Net is one of the original inventors of the YAML data language, and its primary maintainer. He is also the active maintainer of go-yaml, the YAML framework trusted by Kubernetes and much of its ecosystem,
