Caching YAML file

Question

I've been wanting to cache my YML file that I use to access messages, it is used a lot and has a lot of stuff in it, so caching would make it a lot better in terms of performance.

I was wondering if there is a way to run through every path in the file and turn it into a HashMap, like HashMap where one String would be the path and the other the value.

Is it possible to do it automatically or would I need to set it one by one based on my setup?

The way I have the file is:

messages:
  test:
    test1: "message"
  test-this:
    test2: "message"

Look's like you need to use one of YAML de/serializers. Parse the file, convert it to object if needed, then you can easily cache the content anywhere you'd prefer.

A few common libraries:

• Jackson has a module which supports YAML
• SnakeYAML
• YamlBeans
