Re: Fwd: Is there a slim YAML?

In terms of naming... "simple YAML" sounds... well too simple.

A nicer name might be

*CoreYAML*:
   - Aka: cYAML, C YAML
     Definition: |
                         Small fast minimally specced YAML with fast C
reference parser.
                         At the very least should be able to convert from
JSON to YAML 1-1

And yes, we do want an officially 'reduced spec' edition for embedded
systems, else we just going to fork until it exist. Maybe split the
official specification to 3 levels of increasing complexity, with each
higher edition being a subset of the more basic version.

E.g. "Core YAML" --> "Simple YAML" -->  "YAML Complete"

Where the Core YAML, is the most utterly basic and smallest parser
acceptable to run everywhere (1-1 with json), and higher version works for
more complex applications.

If it takes an implementer's guide, then so be it.. But there is an urgent
need for a common standard to stick to, when wanting a more simpler
"edition" of YAML.

Soooo yea. Get us Core YAML and we shall be a bunch of happy penguins (As
well as many people who just need a low fat no frills configuration
standard to stick to). Plus it increasing the likely hood that coreYAML
will be included in other interpreters like python as "batteries included"
:D .
