Re: Suggestion to embrace the yaml format for .info files

Hi everyone,

Switching to YAML for .info files is an interesting idea. While the current format works well for its intended purpose, YAML could bring more consistency and make automated parsing easier for those who need it.

At the same time, it’s worth remembering that .info files are primarily for users installing extensions, so keeping things straightforward and easy to read should remain a priority. If a change is made, it would make sense to approach it gradually, allowing for compatibility with the existing format and ensuring smooth adoption.
