Load

The load operators allows you to load in content from another file.

Note that you can use string operators like + and sub to modify the value in the yaml file to a path that exists in your system.

You can load files of the following supported types:

Format	Load Operator
Yaml	load
XML	load_xml
Properties	load_props
Plain String	load_str
Base64	load_base64

Samples files for tests:

yaml

../../examples/thing.yml:

a: apple is included
b: cool

xml

small.xml:

<this>is some xml</this>

properties

small.properties:

this.is = a properties file
