Python 3-based commandline converter CSV → YAML ↔ JSON ↔ PLIST ↔ XML

Project description

Convert between JSON, YAML and PLIST (binary and XML) in the commandline. Can be used in piping. Written in Python 3.9 (not 2.7 compatible).

Installation

pip3 install --user --upgrade yaplon
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
