Basic usage:

• yaml round-trip <file_name> for basic roundtrip testing of YAML files

• yaml json <file_name> for conversion of JSON file(s) to a single YAML block style document

• yaml json --write <file_name> to convert JSON files to individual .yaml files. This is essential for being able to comparing otherwise unreadable JSON files (e.g. single line metadata.json files in .whl distributions)

• yaml ini <file_name> for conversion of an INI/config file (ConfigObj comment and nested sections supported) to a YAML block style document. This requires configobj to be installed (pip install ruamel.yaml.cmd[configobj])

• yaml from-csv <file_name> for conversion CSV to a YAML file to a a table in an HTML file.

• yaml htmltable <file_name> for conversion of the basic structure in a YAML file to a a table in an HTML file. The YAML file:

  title:
  - fruit
  - legume
  local:
  - apple
  - sprouts
  import:
  - orange
  - broccoli

  is converted into the table:

  title	fruit	legume
  local	apple	sprouts
  import	orange	broccoli

• yaml merge-expand <input> <output> expand merges in input YAML file (use - for stdin/out)

• yaml pickle <input> load a pickle file (assuming your python version support the pickled data version). If the object has a to_yaml` method it is registered and used for dumping. If the object only has __getstate__ or if --create-to-yaml is provided, a generic to_yaml is added that will dump the dict as a mapping with a tag.
