How convert JSON file into YAML and vice versa in command line?
Any ways are welcome.
Update: as of yq version 4.18:
The flags -p
and -o
let you specify input and output formats. You can convert between yaml, json, and xml!
yq -p json -o yaml file.json # json -> yaml
yq -p json -o xml file.json # json -> xml
yq -p yaml -o json file.yaml # yaml -> json
yq -p yaml -o xml file.yaml # yaml -> xml
yq -p xml -o json file.xml # xml -> json
yq -p xml -o yaml file.xml # xml -> yaml
With yq version 4.8.0:
yq e -P file.json
yields YAML
yq e -j file.yaml
yields JSON
e
or eval
evaluates each file separately. ea
or eval-all
merges them first.-P
or --prettyPrint
outputs YAML-j
or --tojson
outputs JSON
