Summary
Adds the "In Defense of YAML" blog post at
content/blog/yaml-defense/. The post covers thepy-yaml12package, a new Rust-backed Python library for working with the YAML 1.2 specification.The post traces the history of configuration formats from INI through XML and JSON to YAML and TOML, examines the legitimate criticisms of YAML 1.1 (the Norway problem, implicit typing, the boolean mess), explains what YAML 1.2 fixed, surveys the current Python parser landscape, and introduces
py-yaml12as a strict YAML 1.2 parser built on Rust. It includes code examples demonstrating the library's behavior. Reading time? Roughly 12 minutes.Test plan
