Justin Stoller created an issue   Puppet / PUP-10656 Provide a JSON terminus for facts Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2020/09/02 11:04 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Justin Stoller We have a YAML terminus for facts, however YAML can problematic for hexidecimal numbers (see PUP-...). Additionally, JSON is generally a better serialization format for machines to understand, is a smaller spec than YAML, has a relatively mature ecosystem in Java around parsing/serializing, and is backwards compatible with YAML for recent YAML parsers (YAML has become a superset of JSON). For these reasons we should implement a JSON terminus for facts (there already exists one for catalogs) and users should be encouraged to use it instead of the YAML terminus.
