y2j

A command line tool for translating YAML streams to JSON.

Installation

pip install y2j

Usage

y2j accepts YAML data and writes the equivalent JSON to STDOUT. The YAML may be read from a named file, or from STDIN.

Options

• -c, --compressed: Print with no superfluous whitespace.
• -p, --pretty: Pretty-print the JSON output

The following examples are based on the contents of example.yml:

---
  y2j:
    - Is easy to use
    - Is neat

Reading from a file

$ y2j -p example.yml

{
  "y2j": [
    "Is easy to use",
    "Is neat"
  ]
}

Reading from STDIN

$ cat example.yml | y2j -p

{
  "y2j": [
    "Is easy to use",
    "Is neat"
  ]
}
