Utilities to convert TOML, XML & YAML to JSON for use on the command line. For each supported format there is a tool for use as a pipe as well as a jq wrapper which forwards the converted piped input or detected files in the arguments to jq, for further querying and processing.
Usage examples:
$ echo foo: bar | yaml2json
{"foo":"bar"}
$ tq -r .package.description Cargo.toml
utilities converting various data formats into JSON for use with jq
Goals: + provide light-weight converters to JSON + provide jq wrappers + add support for additional formats having maintained Serde implementations
Non-Goals: - converting JSON into other data formats, consider jyt - replicating jq, jq must be installed to use the jq wrappers
Alternatives: * Rust 🦀: * jyt * yaml2json * yaml2json-rs * Go 🐹 * JavaScript 🌐 * Python 🐍
To Do: - [ ] support files in arguments to *2json tools - [ ] yaml multi-document support - [ ] provide RPM packages
You may not want to install all of the utilities or only a particular one. Each utility can be selected by itself or via group features. If no features are selected, all utilities get installed.
Matrix of all selectable features: | | to_json | jq | |------|-----------|----| | toml | toml2json | tq | | xml | xml2json | xq | | yaml | yaml2json | yq |
Examples:
# install only yq & tq:
cargo install convert2json --no-default-features --features yq,tq
# install all xml tools:
cargo install convert2json --no-default-features --features xml
