read yaml from groovy

[Azul Inho]

Hi there,

Is there a nice, clean way of reading a yaml file using groovy and the DSL ?

Right now we're using a dodgy python hack, which is not very pretty

thanks

I am using a slightly older version of the DSL , so i am not sure if there is a native support now.

I ended up using YAML Beans (https://github.com/EsotericSoftware/yamlbeans) within my DSL to read a YAML file. There are a few other options as well.

In YAML Beans, you work using the YAML Reader Abstraction and can load up your entire file into a vanilla map or a nested object structure as long as the keys match the property fields.

Regards,

Rahul
