Re: [Yaml-core] Jyaml 1.0 beta Released

[Toby Ho <air...@gm...>]

I really think what you're suggesting is out of the scope of my
project. But I do have a suggestion how you might do it though. For
one thing, the yaml file you've created can be loaded in as a
java.util.Map

Map map =3D (Map)YmlDecoder.loadFromFile(filename);

and at this point you can do whatever you'd like with it. Work
directly with the map if you'd like, or store it off somewhere so that
you'll have the values when you need them later.
