Can YAML be used for schema while using CLI

[amanjeev]

Within my own app, I can always load YAML schema instead of JSON using PyYAML etc. but I was wondering if there is a way to use the this via command line as well? It seems like the entire package is pretty much expecting JSON for schema. Like load_schema() looks for JSON only : https://github.com/amanjeev/jsonschema/blob/master/jsonschema/_utils.py#L51

Any suggestions to how I may approach this. I am willing to work on this if you want and open a PR but I was wondering if I could get some input from you regarding whether it is already done and also regarding portions of the code (packaging, testing, cli etc.) that I may be missing. thanks!

The right way to do this is to just compose some external tool which converts YAML to JSON. There are many of em, pick whichever one. Then just `jsonschema validate -i <(yaml-to-json instance.yaml) <(yaml-to-json schema.yaml)

I see. Thank you!

Given how popular YAML has become, perhaps it's worth revisiting this issue and considering adding 1st party support. Happy to help with implementing if interested.

#582 is a follow up ticket, and yeah I'm more amenable to doing this at this point, but I don't want to do so too magically (meaning by guessing) -- but have a look at the follow up ticket and definitely a PR is welcome for what's mentioned there (ask if it's unclear!)
