Research direction

Start by locating the current SnakeYAML integration and compare its API with SnakeYAML engine. Verify that the existing bean dissection, simple-map construction, and YAML export use case still works without constructing arbitrary Java objects; done means the replacement is complete and those behaviors remain intact.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It might be interesting to replace SnakeYAML with SnakeYAML engine, which explicitly does not support beans: https://bitbucket.org/snakeyaml/snakeyaml-engine/src/master/ This is fine for our use case, since we dissect beans before exporting them, and also construct them based on simple maps. It would probably be safer to use the engine that is guaranteed not to build any weird Java objects based on YAML.
