Installation
- Install the release version:
pip3 install --user --upgrade yaplon
- Install the development version:
pip3 install --user --upgrade git+https://github.com/twardoch/yaplon
Usage
yaplon j2p|j2y|p2j|p2y|y2j|y2p -i input -o output [options]
Commands:
j2p -i JSON -o PLIST [-b] (make binary PLIST)
j2y -i JSON -o YAML [-m] (minify)
p2j -i PLIST -o JSON [-m] (minify) [-b] (keep binary)
p2y -i PLIST -o YAML [-m] (minify)
y2j -i YAML -o JSON [-m] (minify) [-b] (keep binary)
y2p -i YAML -o PLIST [-b] (make binary PLIST)
Also installs direct CLI tools: json22plist, json22yaml, plist22json, plist22yaml, yaml22json, yaml22plist that correspond to the commands. 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
