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

Lets say there is a file ../../examples/thing.yml:

a: apple is included
b: cool

and a file small.xml:

<this>is some xml</this>

and small.properties:

this.is = a properties file
