YAML schema support

[akselerando]

Love this plugin!

It would be nice to add YAML schema support

A quick and dirty solution could be to allow YAML data as input, but convert it to JSON behind the scenes.
A more proper solution would be even better ofc

Hello @akselerando ,

I'm not against supporting it, just that a big part of this discussion is related to #258 (comment) : the parsing library, as you can also have YAML in $ref for instance. and must work transparently for end-users.

Currently, it seems that @apidevtools/json-schema-ref-parser is the best candidate (in lack of better & maintained one) : would be interesting if someone give a try. In theory, most changes would be in the entrypoint file as typings are almost correct (just resolverOptions would need a change to be compliant to new parser options) :

// What the user provides
export type Props = {
  /**
   * The JSON schema to use
   */
  schema: unknown,
    /**
   * To customize the ref resolving
   * By default, only inline references will be dereferenced by @stoplight/json-ref-resolver
   */
  resolverOptions?: IResolveOpts
  }
  
 // What inner components use
type InnerViewerProperties = {
     schema: JSONSchema
}

Would you or someone else like to give a hand ? Thx in advance
