- Install the development version:
pip3 install --user --upgrade git+https://github.com/twardoch/yaplon
Usage
yaplon [c|j|p|x|y]2[j|p|x|y] -i input -o output [options]
Commands:
c2j -i CSV -o JSON [-d DIALECT] [-k KEY] [-m] (minify)
c2p -i CSV -o PLIST [-d DIALECT] [-k KEY] [-m] (minify)
c2x -i CSV -o XML [-d DIALECT] [-k KEY] [-m] (minify) [-S] (simple XML)
c2y -i CSV -o YAML [-d DIALECT] [-k KEY] [-m] (minify)
j2p -i JSON -o PLIST [-b] (make binary PLIST)
j2x -i JSON -o XML [-m] (minify) [-S] (simple XML)
j2y -i JSON -o YAML [-m] (minify YAML)
p2j -i PLIST -o JSON [-m] (minify) [-b] (keep binary)
p2x -i PLIST -o XML [-m] (minify) [-S] (simple XML)
p2y -i PLIST -o YAML [-m] (minify YAML)
x2j -i XML -o JSON [-m] (minify) [-b] (keep binary)
x2p -i XML -o PLIST [-b] (make binary PLIST)
x2y -i XML -o YAML [-m] (minify YAML)
y2j -i YAML -o JSON [-m] (minify) [-b] (keep binary)
y2p -i YAML -o PLIST [-b] (make binary PLIST)
y2x -i YAML -o XML [-m] (minify) [-S] (simple XML)
Also installs direct CLI tools that correspond to the commands:
csv22json
,csv22plist
,csv22xml
,csv22yaml
,json22plist
,json22xml
,json22yaml
,plist22json
,plist22xml
,plist22yaml
,xml22json
,xml22plist
,xml22yaml
,yaml22json
,yaml22plist
,yaml22xml
Note that they have 22
rather than 2
in the filenames, so they don’t conflict with other similar (often single-purpose) tools that you may have.
Examples
JSON to YAML
File to file via the dedicated CLI tool:
$ json22yaml -i input.json -o output.yaml
Using pipe redirects, via the yaplon tool with j2y command:
$ yaplon j2y < input.json > output.yaml
Read file, output minified to stdout, via the Python 3 module
$ python3 -m yaplon j2y -m -i input.json
PLIST to JSON
Read PLIST file, output minified JSON file, via the dedicated CLI tool.
$ plist22json -m -i input.plist > output.json
Read plist file, output minified JSON to stdout, via the yaplon tool with p2j command.
$ yaplon p2j -m -i input.plist
