Generate YAML template/examples

[marco-brandizi]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, I create YAML default/example/template configurations manually. As this great project shows, it would be possible to use spring-configuration-metadata.json to generate such a file, populated with defaults and descriptions from the code annotations (and maybe code initialisations).

Describe the solution you'd like
A YAML generation option, as said above.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I considered doing it on my own, but never have time :-)

Hey there,
So you , mean you would need a JSON to YAML converter ? 🤔 I think it would be doable, unfortunately I'm also low on spare time.
I'll see what I can do. Thank you for the issue. Contributions are always welcomed :)

Hi, @nandorholozsnyak, thanks for the quick reply. Plain JSON to YAML conversion is easy, but not what I have in mind.

I'd like to turn this

{
  "name": "app.title",
  "description": "The title of the application.",
  "defaultValue": "Demo App"
}

into something like this:

app:
  # The title of the application.
  title: "Demo App"

which is the form people who aren't advanced programmers understand best.
