Description
Observed behavior
There are differences in the file provider regarding supported file formats.
| SDK | JSON | YAML |
|---|---|---|
| Java | y | n |
| JS | y | y |
| Python | y | y |
| .net | y | ? |
| ... |
the question is, what is the expected behavior and what do we want to support? eg. is yaml just an optional nice to have feature?
Expected Behavior
unified behavior or at least definition for all our languages and ideally tests to cover this bit
