Simple command line tool to convert a YAML input file into a JSON output file.
```bash $ yj --help yj 1.2.0
Command line tool that converts YAML to JSON
USAGE: yj [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [INPUT]
ARGS: Input YAML file name. Defaults to stdin
FLAGS: -c, --compact Use compact formatting for the JSON output -h, --help Print 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 Print version information -y, --yaml Format the output as YAML instead of JSON
OPTIONS: -o, --output
Local build and install with cargo:
bash
$ cargo install yj
Prebuilt binaries are available on Github releases for some common platforms.
On macOS, the prebuilt binary can be installed using
Homebrew. Unfortunately, Homebrew picked up a
different utility with the name yj after I chose that name here.
So, a simple brew install yj gets that tool, not this one 😞.
bash
$ brew tap bruceadams/utilities
$ brew install bruceadams/utilities/yj
Alternatively on macOS, you may also install yj using MacPorts:
bash
$ sudo port selfupdate
$ sudo port install yj
Minimal Docker images are available on Docker Hub:
bash
$ docker pull bruceadams/yj
bash
$ cat .travis.yml

$ echo pi: 3.1415926 | yj -c
