Spring config server returns json response with resolved paths - how to avoid this?

Question

I have a .yml file like this in my gitlab server

   holidays:  
   US:  
     - 03/19/2020  
     - 03/20/2020  
     - 05/18/2020

the config server reads the above yml and returns something the response like this

{"name":"*****","profiles":["simpleyml"],"label":null,"version":"*****","state":null,"propertySources":[{"name":"https://*****.com/****.git/application-simpleyml.yml",source":{"holidays.US[0]":"03/19/2020","holidays.US[1]":"03/20/2020"}

I would need the config server to return the "source" part like the below instead

{"name":"*****","profiles":["simpleyml"],"label":null,"version":"*****","state":null,"propertySources":[{"name":"https://*****.com/****.git/application-simpleyml.yml","source":
  {
    "holidays": {
      "US": [
        "03/19/2020",
        "03/20/2020"
       ]
    }
  }

Could someone please help me out on this?

You may be want to format your yaml file in the question as code fragment so no misunderstanding — Kavithakaran Kanapathippillai, Jul 30 '20 at 16:26
Thanks @KavithakaranKanapathippillai edit my question above to have a better understanding. added the entire response from config server.. please see the "source" section in the response. thats the content that config-server reads and represents the yml file — VJohn, Jul 30 '20 at 16:49
@VJohn any updates that you have for the question you have posted on the json hierarchy being concatenated ? — MADHU VS, Nov 15 '22 at 17:12

Try this out

Input YAML

source:
 holidays:
  US:
    - 03/19/2020
    - 03/20/2020

Returned JSON

{ "source": { "holidays": { "US": [ "03/19/2020", "03/20/2020" ] } } }

I think this matches your requirement

I am not able to find difference, can you point what's the difference between your requirement and what I have posted – Shivendra Tiwari Jul 30 '20 at 16:40
Thanks for this. but its the same output another ex: my yml file application-simpleyml.yml ----- holidays: US: city ----- Spring config server returns ---------------------- {"name":"*****","profiles":["simpleyml"],"label":null,"version":"***","state":null,"propertySources":[{"name":"https://*****.com/****.git/application-simpleyml.yml","source":{"holidays.US":"city"}}]} ------------- See the source content.. the Yaml path is still resolved.. What i need is something like this ----------- {"source":{"holidays": {"US":"city"}} ------- pls see the diff in source – VJohn Jul 30 '20 at 16:42
If you will directly request it from Spring Config Server output will come in this way only. Not possible to get just source. Only option is after getting the response parse the JSON. Spring Config Server is their to communicate with microservices only. – Shivendra Tiwari Jul 30 '20 at 16:48
Sorry, may be my question was confusing. basically, its not like i only need "source". Config server reads yaml and returns with resolved paths like "holidays.US:***" all i need is just avoid this resolving paths and return the content like this "holidays: { US: ** }} – VJohn Jul 30 '20 at 16:58
