Encode / Decode
Encode operators will take the piped in object structure and encode it as a string in the desired format. The decode operators do the opposite, they take a formatted string and decode it into the relevant object structure.
Note that you can optionally pass an indent value to the encode functions (see below).
These operators are useful to process yaml documents that have stringified embedded yaml/json/props in them.
Format | Decode (from string) | Encode (to string) |
---|---|---|
Yaml | from_yaml/@yamld | to_yaml(i)/@yaml |
JSON | from_json/@jsond | to_json(i)/@json |
Properties | from_props/@propsd | to_props/@props |
CSV | from_csv/@csvd | to_csv/@csv |
TSV | from_tsv/@tsvd | to_tsv/@tsv |
XML | from_xml/@xmld | to_xml(i)/@xml |
Base64 | @base64d | @base64 |
URI | @urid | @uri |
Shell | @sh |
See CSV and TSV documentation for accepted formats.
XML uses the --xml-attribute-prefix
and xml-content-name
flags to identify attributes and content fields.
Base64 assumes rfc4648 encoding. Encoding and decoding both assume that the content is a utf-8 string and not binary content.
Encode value as json string
Given a sample.yml file of:
then
will output
Encode value as json string, on one line
Pass in a 0 indent to print json on a single line.
Given a sample.yml file of:
then
will output
Encode value as json string, on one line shorthand
Pass in a 0 indent to print json on a single line.
Given a sample.yml file of:
then
will output
Decode a json encoded string
Keep in mind JSON is a subset of YAML. If you want idiomatic yaml, pipe through the style operator to clear out the JSON styling.
