Hello, everyone. We currently use a modeler to create workflows (BPMN), but we want to automate the process of generating workflows. It would be ideal if the system could automatically generate a YAML file representing the workflow, which would then be mapped to BPMN.
Is there a way to map yaml to BPMN in Camunda? I found a similar reference here: camunda-forum/yaml-xml-bpmn.
Hi @vishu899 - no, there is not a native way in Camunda to do this. Camunda supports - and strongly believes in - BPMN because it is an open spec and not a proprietary definition. The spec doesn’t include YAML, so any YAML definition Camunda builds a tool against would be proprietary, and that’s something we want to try to avoid.
That doesn’t stop the community from making plugins or tools like this though! There are a handful of YAML to BPMN tools on GitHub if you search around. Desktop Modeler supports plugins, which you could use to write a YAML exporter.
Thanks, @nathan.loding
