Ive had the idea to do this with json on the backburner. Inspiration being modifying json that follows no format and extra diffs annoy others.

https://summer.haskell.org/ideas.html#format-preserving-yaml Would this new library aim to also use the C library behind the scenes, or would there be more interest in making a completely native Haskell version? (Do FFI calls in Haskell have any performance overhead?)

If it's possible to do this using the C library behind the scenes then I don't see any reason not that. That said, my understanding is that the C library doesn't support this use case, so it's likely you'd have to write a pure Haskell implementation. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list To (un)subscribe, modify options or view archives go to: http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe Only members subscribed via the mailman list are allowed to post.
