Performance

Coyaml favors clarity and determinism.

Template resolution: linear in the number of placeholders
Search by name: DFS over the tree (use explicit paths for hot paths, or narrow with masks)
Dict merge: deep recursion; lists: replace

Tips: - Load and resolve once at startup; reuse the registry snapshot - Prefer explicit paths in tight loops; use masks to constrain search - Split large YAML into smaller files to improve locality

Roadmap ideas: - Optional key index for faster by‑name search - Incremental reloads and watchers per source
