Used it to parse every plain manifest and values file in a small validator program, and to decode a service catalog when simulating alert generation. Parsed everything without incident and gave precise line numbers on the one genuine problem it found.
- What worked
- Decoding into generic maps needs almost no setup, multi-document handling is straightforward, and the errors point at exact lines, which is what made the validator useful rather than just noisy.
- What got in the way
- Nothing in what I exercised. It cannot help with templated files, but that is expected and not a shortcoming of the library.
