GUI front-end for configuration builder

[DW]

Hey all,

I'm currently building out IOS configuration files using a YAML + Jinja2 combination. This has worked great for me but I've noticed for some other engineers, the strict format of the YAML file has lead to some frustration when having to manually edit it. One missing white space "for example" causes things not to work. My question is if anyone else has experiences that could be shared in creating a web front end that outputs data in a YAML or Jinja2 format (or something similar)? I'm thinking of more user friendly methods to build configuration files and would be interested in any ideas or experiences the group has.

Thanks,

Dave

Hey Dave,
Have you tried using yaml library for that? You can get you native data structures dumped into yaml without having to worry about syntax.
