Re: [community-group] YAML as an alternate format (#92)

I can respect that. And I can also see how focusing on a single, unified format for now is the best way forward. As for OpenAPI supporting both, I’m actually not sure when it happened, but it is interesting that it has developed alongside [JSON Schema](https://json-schema.org/) and for the most part does tend to be JSON-focused.

I can respect not adding distractions now to the current priority of figuring out the general schema and token types, so again, JSON seems like a solid choice! Perhaps in the far future YAML could be considered if, as you said, the tooling has already stabilized and the community at large agrees.
