Will TypoScript be replaced with YAML in TYPO3

Question

The system extensions form and ckeditor are using YAML as configuration language instead of TypoScript which is used everywhere else.

Will TypoScript vanish?

Answer 1

The 2 mentioned extensions are using YAML also because the form extensions has a history in Neos which uses YAML and the ckeditor uses YAML itself.

There are no plans in the core to actually drop TypoScript completely, however YAML has some advantages which are very important:

• It is a configuration language known and used in the outside world of TYPO3
• It has well known parsers and tests

Therefore it might be that completely new configurations might be done in YAML as well.

Especially with the usage of Fluid, ViewHelpers, the usage of TypoScript dropped - at least for me - a lot and I am very happy about it. However page.10 < styles.content.get will stay for a while ;)
