Yaml to json?

Filing mainly to have a discussion around reasons to refactor the current template notation from yaml to json?

Can you elaborate on this, what would be the benefits. Please be specific, i do not want to start a general discussion around this topic. Both formats are officially support within AWS CloudFormation.

For me benefits of yaml are clear:

  • Better human readability
  • Faster coding
  • Possibility to add comments

For programmatic processing JSON makes more sense, but you can always use https://github.com/awslabs/aws-cfn-template-flip to convert it if you like.
