yaml to json

[farfromrefug]

Hi,

would it be hard to convert the other way?
I am using mapbox and am very interested by mapzen styles.

Thanks

The conversion shouldn't be difficult, the code to convert is far more straightforward than the guess work that has gone into adjusting the zoom levels the layers appear at.

I'll have a look at some point, I want to refactor the code so the read / convert / write are better separated so I could look at this at the same time.

@ac87 that s great news. I might look at it too. But somethings bugs me. In Mapzen you can use js functions in the yaml style, you can't do that in mapbox? How are those going to be translated?

[ac87]

That is a good point, you can do some really nice things with JS inside the style.

For the most part I've had to convert This kind of thing from JSON
"text-field": "{name_en}",
to
text_source: function() { feature.name_en; }

which is obviously straightforward.
