YJ - YAML to JSON

Build Status

Simple command line tool to convert a YAML input file into a JSON output file.

How to, etc.

Built in help

```bash $ yj --help yj 0.7.10 Bruce Adams bruce.adams@acm.org Read YAML, write JSON

USAGE: yj.exe [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [input]

FLAGS: -c, --compact Use compact formatting for the JSON output. -h, --help Prints help information -j, --json Parse the input as JSON. For most use cases, this option makes no difference. Valid JSON is valid YAML, so JSON input will (should?) parse correctly even when being handled with the YAML parser. Use this option when you want failure (instead of weird results) when the input is invalid JSON. -V, --version Prints version information -y, --yaml Format the output as YAML instead of JSON.

OPTIONS: -o, --output Output file name for the JSON. Defaults to stdout.

ARGS: Input YAML file name. Defaults to stdin. ```
