Scripts to convert objects to yaml/json ready formats #5165
Description
I propose to add two scripts to astropy.utils.data (or a neighboring module)
that convert Python objects into YAML or JSON ready formats. This code
already exists (with tests and documentation) as:
linetools.utils.jsonify
https://github.com/linetools/linetools/blob/master/linetools/utils.py
and
desiutils.io.yamilfy
https://github.com/desihub/desiutil/blob/master/py/desiutil/io.py
I feel this has general use within the astronomical community (quite
possible that similar routines already exist).

Fast forward to 2019, we already have JSON support for a number of objects:
astropy/astropy/utils/misc.py
Lines 366 to 377 in 31a111c
Is there something in particular that is still missing that you think would benefit the astronomy Python community?
