yamlconverter

Purpose

This will take a Kubernetes YAML object and convert it into a native Go struct. This implementation does have a few shortcomings and is not meant to be used as a code generator. That said, it probably could be converted into one with a bit more effort.

Prior Art

As an example of prior art, have a look at NAML, which is how I discovered the valast library which this code makes extensive use of. NAML assumes that one wants to immediately deploy their generated objects, which is not always the case.

Known Limitations

runtime.RawExtensions

The runtime.RawExtensions types are not converted property into Go structs. See the MachineConfig test case for further details.

Custom Resource Definitions / Kube Object Types

As with NAML, this will not support all Kubernetes object types. Additional object types can be added fairly easily however.
