YAML Support

[v3ss0n]

Configuring with json is hard when it grows bigger.
Can we have YAML support? Converting YAML to JSON would be fine for start.

[v3ss0n]

it will look like this:

@v3ss0n Cool! Feel free to open a PR to support that :)

[v3ss0n]

all the good json-yaml comverters are in golang , notsure how it will fit in this.

[dsternlicht]

I guess there's a NPM package that converts yaml files to json.

[v3ss0n]

many are unmaintained , so looking around , found a good one :
https://www.npmjs.com/package/js-yaml
gonna test it
should i do a build time converter or reader internally?
