------------------------------------
Summary: Allow alternative formats (HOCON, YAML) to JSON for model
files
Key: CALCITE-1280
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1280
Project: Calcite
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Julian Hyde
Assignee: Julian Hyde
Allow alternative formats for model files. Model files are currently JSON. We
use some extensions, e.g. comments, but this means that it's no longer strictly
standard JSON.
We should allow other formats that are easier for humans to read and write. In
a [dev list
discussion|https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/684263fc151c89b4ac5ec9b32cd20f7ac722cbd03548efa541418e74@%3Cdev.calcite.apache.org%3E]
some of the alternatives raised were
[HOCON|https://github.com/typesafehub/config/blob/master/HOCON.md],
[YAML|http://yaml.org/], [hjson|https://hjson.org/] and
[TOML|https://github.com/toml-lang/toml].
YAML has the advantage of being natively supported by Jackson.
