Description

We are currently building an API linter based on your parser library (https://github.com/zalando-incubator/zally). So, thanks for providing such a nice library. :-)

We had the feature request of providing line and column number information if there is a violation in a given swagger file. As I've understood the code correctly, every given Swagger spec is transformed into a JSON object before parsed. We thought about providing line and column information for yaml files - most users of our service have yaml files.

Is this on your roadmap?

What would be necessary to include those information into swagger-parser? Maybe you already have an implementation idea in mind.

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the parser's transformation of Swagger or YAML input into JSON objects, then determine how line and column metadata could remain attached to parsed objects; done means linter consumers can access that location information for violations.
