yq
yq is a lightweight and portable command-line YAML processor

yq has pre-built binaries for most platforms - checkout the releases page for the latest build. Alternatively - you can use one of the methods below:brew install yq@3

yq installs with with strict confinement in snap, this means it doesn't have direct access to root files. To read root files you can:sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq r - somecommand
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq r - somecommand | sudo sponge /etc/myfile
or write to a temporary file:
sudo cat /etc/myfile | yq r - somecommand | sudo tee /etc/myfile.tmp
sudo mv /etc/myfile.tmp /etc/myfile
rm /etc/myfile.tmp

Oneshot use:
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq yq [flags] <command> FILE...
Run commands interactively:
docker run --rm -it -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq sh
It can be useful to have a bash function to avoid typing the whole docker command:
yq() {
docker run --rm -i -v ${PWD}:/workdir mikefarah/yq yq $@
}
Under the hood, yq uses go-yaml v3 as the yaml parser, which supports yaml spec 1.2. In particular, note that in 1.2 the values 'yes'/'no' are no longer interpreted as booleans, but as strings.
