mrutkows commented on issue #304: Support of list for openwhisk entities
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-wskdeploy/issues/304#issuecomment-322626443
 
 
   The spec. is intended to represent the openwhisk programming model which is a referential model based upon entity names (actions, rules, triggers, etc.).  We are not trying to represent a flat configuration file and simplify parsing, but instead better represent a model of named entities that can easily reference each other by their name. 
   
   If every object has to have a ?name:? or ?id:? then complexity is added when these objects have to reference each other and the YAML gets longer and we have to go through each object to index into it to read its name; whereas now we have map where the object name is the key.
   
   We do not intend to change the YAML grammar for this.
