Btw YAML would be a proper superset of JSON if it wasn't for the fact that yaml doesn't allow repeated fields while JSON is relaxed about that.

That's just a small detail though. You can for all intents and purposes out JSON objects in YAML files and I'm still puzzled while so many people fiddle with indent in helm templates instead of just using toJson

Some YAML parsers support duplicate keys (IIRC, Ruby does…or at least whatever GitLab uses does). The disparate state of YAML parsers is what makes me sad about it…it seems like just a hard spec to implement.
