[swift-build-dev] [swift-evolution] Proposal Discussion Thread: SwiftPM: Locking and Overriding Dependencies

[David Hart]

I think TOML is no-go as its readme says:

Be warned, this spec is still changing a lot. Until it's marked as 1.0, you should assume that it is unstable and act accordingly.

And I agree about YAML: no parser, more work, and more complicated.

JSON sounds like a sane format.
