Todd Gamblin 41b8f31bcd Use JSON for the database instead of YAML. (#2189) ... * Use JSON for the database instead of YAML. - JSON is much faster than YAML *and* can preserve ordered keys. - 170x+ faster than Python YAML when using unordered dicts - 55x faster than Python YAML (both using OrderedDicts) - 8x faster than C YAML (with OrderedDicts) - JSON is built into Python, unlike C YAML, so doesn't add a dependency. - Don't need human readability for the package database. - JSON requires no major changes to the code -- same object model as YAML. - add to_json, from_json methods to spec. * Add tests to ensure JSON and YAML don't need to be ordered in DB. * Write index.json first time it's not found instead of requiring reindex. * flake8 bug.		2016-12-05 10:03:58 -08:00
