- YAML resolver now supports full path navigation (e.g., production.primary.host)
- Both JSON and YAML resolvers return YAML-formatted data for complex types
- This allows proper type preservation when loading objects/arrays from files
- Updated convertToType to parse YAML returned by resolvers
- Added comprehensive tests for YAML path navigation including arrays
- Fixed JSON resolver to support "." path for entire document
- All README examples now work correctly
The key insight was that resolvers should return YAML strings for complex
types, which can then be parsed and merged into the configuration structure,
preserving the original types (maps, arrays) instead of flattening to strings.
Ensure that numeric conversions are lossless by verifying the converted
value matches the original string when converted back. This prevents:
- Loss of leading zeros (0123 stays as string)
- Loss of trailing zeros in floats (1.50 stays as string)
- Loss of plus signs (+123 stays as string)
- Changes in notation (1e10 stays as string)
Only convert to numeric types when the string representation would be
preserved exactly. This maintains data integrity while still providing
convenient type conversions for clean numeric values.
Added comprehensive tests to verify the safety check behavior.

Implement YAML-first interpolation with type preservation
Previously, interpolations were performed during string manipulation before
YAML parsing, which caused issues with quoting and escaping. This commit
fundamentally changes the approach:
- Parse YAML first, then walk the structure to interpolate values
- Preserve types: standalone interpolations can return numbers/booleans
- Mixed content (text with embedded interpolations) always returns strings
- Users control types through YAML syntax, not our quoting logic
- Properly handle nested interpolations without quote accumulation
This gives users explicit control over output types while eliminating
the complex and error-prone manual quoting logic.
- Updated JSON resolver to use gjson library for JSON5 support (comments, trailing commas)
- Added --json flag to CLI tool for JSON output format
- Added typed getter methods: GetInt(), GetUint(), GetFloat(), GetBool(), GetBytes()
- GetBytes() supports human-readable formats like "10G", "20KiB" via go-humanize
- Fixed YAML interpolation to always quote output values for safety
- Updated README to clarify YAML-only input and automatic quoting behavior
- Added .gitignore to exclude compiled binary
- Fixed test config files to use unquoted interpolation syntax
- Updated tests to expect quoted interpolation output
