haskell@gentoo.org Gentoo Haskell The [YAML 1.2](https://yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html) format provides a much richer data-model and feature-set than the [JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159) format. However, sometimes it's desirable to ignore the extra capabilities and treat YAML as if it was merely a more convenient markup format for humans to write JSON data. To this end this module provides a compatibility layer atop [HsYAML](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/HsYAML) which allows decoding YAML documents in the more limited JSON data-model while also providing convenience by reusing [aeson](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/aeson)'s 'FromJSON' instances for decoding the YAML data into native Haskell data types.
