YAML file format in LocalFilesystemBackend

[mik-laj]

Hello,

I would be happy if LocalFilesystemBackend would support YAML files. This file format is easier for human editing than JSON files, so it would be easier for developers to use.

Tasks to do

• 1. Define the file format (based on the current JSON format)
• 2. Add support for YAML files
• 3. Add tests
• 4. Upddate docs

Steps 2 and 3 can be swapped if TDD methodology will be used. It will be easy here, so it will be an good exercise.

If anyone is interested in this, I am willing to provide all the necessary tips and information.

Are you wondering how to start contributing to this project? Start by reading our contributor guide

I would like to pick this up.
So the YAML structure would be similar to the current JSON right?.If I am not wrong the JSON structure from here should be used as reference.

@VinayGb665 Yes. It may be based on this, but if you have your idea then you can present it in your change.
