Why
YAML 1.2.2 flow style for mappings ({ key: value }) is a common compact notation, but it is currently not parsed, so documents using it fail or parse incorrectly. This is a companion to #7 (flow sequences).
What
ConvertFrom-Yaml should parse flow mappings inline anywhere a node is expected, for example:
person: { name: Alice, age: 30 }
matrix: [{x: 1, y: 2}, {x: 3, y: 4}]ConvertTo-Yaml does not need to emit flow style by default; block style remains the default output.
