I'm not sure why you'd want to start with json or yaml. Seems like you'd want to start with a document, not a datastore. A datastore would tend to being opinionated and inflexible. What happens when my resume doesn't match a prescribed format? Or what about other documents beyond resumes? And whats with the star bullets? Why mix style with data? What if I want hearts instead of stars?

I only mention this cause I'm working on something similar for my resume. I start with markdown and output pdf, html, etc.

In general, I would say you want to have schema. However, both yaml and json lack this. Still I find this a nice approach.

What happens when the code you wrote to parse markdown is unable to understand your new fangled resume material? Then markdown is just as much a datastore as json. The problem is not in json or markdown. It is in the code: your code must be able to understand all reasonable resume material.

I don't understand. Why would you write a markdown parser? Theres like a million implementations already. I use https://www.npmjs.org/package/markdown-pdf
