YamlPropertiesFactoryBean and YamlMapFactoryBean [SPR-9897]

[spring-projects-issues]

Dave Syer opened SPR-9897 and commented

Yaml is a nice human friendly way to specify maps and configuration externalizations (e.g. as an alternative to properties files). the easiest way to consume it in Java would be as a Map<String,Object> (like a JSON object) or as Properties.

N.B. I have developed the code quite a bit since the PR. It has another home right now, but if anyone wants it here, please shout.

As we discussed we have a nice support for this in Boot and could consider moving that in the core.

A few spring modules support YAML, however, Spring Core doesn’t which makes it really hard to define rich application configuration files. Getting this in would really help us out.

Spring boot has indeed an excellent support to parse yaml files as properties or map. This support has been migrated to the Spring framework org.springframework.beans.factory.config.YamlPropertiesFactoryBean and org.springframework.beans.factory.config.YamlMapFactoryBean respectively.
