JSON schema supports YAML as well, no? That's because JSON and YAML are both essentially just different syntaxes for writing the same objects right?

It's the other way around. The YAML schema supports JSON because YAML was designed as a superset of JSON.

I get where you're coming from, but JSON Schema still absolutely is the framework that supports YAML files and not the other way around. I've been using JSON Schema pretty heavily lately to write schemas using YAML, for validating YAML.

Possibly. My point is: despite having a common subset Pkl and JSON schema doesn't seem to be solving the same problems. But, I'm just learning about it, so I may just be wrong.
