Bug #7561
closedInconsistent quotation in YAML representation of event
0%
Description
In the "YAML data" view of event details, various attribute values are quoted inconsistently. Generally, the values are not quoted, including strings with whitespace. Then there are exceptions - the datetimes are (always) quoted, some IPv6 addresses are quoted (while others are not) and some of the country codes are quoted. Here is an example:

Is there anything special about Norway?

Actually yes. YAML accepts 'yes' ano 'no' as booleans...

OK, putting quotes around all strings might be against the spirit of YAML. There goes the Norway case and the IPv6s. That leaves the timestamps which are valid [1] in YAML and do not need to be strings.

Aaand just a note - afaik YAML view was just a hack to better view the whole Idea event where default view does not suffice and JSON is quite unreadable. So I'd suggest not jumping into solving this issue, but rather extending default ("nice") Idea view to actually NOT hide unusual things and making it more usable. (And then get rid of YAML view altogether.)

AFAIK YAML was added just for convenience - another view for human (something aking less curly JSON). I guess we should streamline/enhance main view of the event (so there is minimal incentive for user to go for JSON/YAML) and get rid of YAML altogether.
