What to do about empty sequences and mappings? about strictyaml HOT 4 CLOSED

oops, yeah that. I was anyway thinking of creating a null type and this is almost the same thing.

Let me ponder this for a day or so though before I implement though. I need to think through the implications.

from strictyaml.

Still not sure if this is the best approach, but anyway: 58bba77 is released on version 0.3.8.

from strictyaml.

Good question. How about this::

load("x:", Map({"x": Seq(Str())}) | EmptySeq())) == {"x": []}

load("x:", Map({"x": MapPattern(Str(), Str())}) | EmptyMap())) == {"x": {}}

from strictyaml.

I assume you mean

load("x:", Map({"x": Seq(Str()) | EmptySeq()})) == {"x": []}
load("x:", Map({"x": MapPattern(Str(), Str()) | EmptyMap()})) == {"x": {}}

? If so, I'm perfectly fine with emitting nothing for empty lists and dicts.
