RE: [tosca] XML and YAML standard convergence

Hi Luca,

Welcome again to the TOSCA TC. Regarding something like an TOSCA Simple Profile for XML, the TC has not yet made a formal decision, nor started such an effort, although much work might be easily translatable from the YAML profile. Speaking with Co-Chair hat off, one can merely note that there is already a “non-Simple Profile” of the earlier work that is already an official OASIS standard, and so in a perfect world one might think that we would seriously consider the possibility of offering the Simple Profile in XML rendering, as well.

Resources and interest amongst TC members will no doubt be a significant factor. Perhaps, as you gain experience in the TC, do you think this is something that you might be interested in helping to create?

Regards,

Paul

Subject: [tosca] XML and YAML standard convergence

My first question is:

- will the XML and YAML standards go on paired or the YAML is going to replace the XML?

In case of the paired option (that I hope) I see that the YAML introduce some features like the get_input, get_property, get_attribute how is planned to exprss those in the XML standard?

Thanks

Luca
