About:
dasel is a command-line utility written in Go that provides a unified interface for querying and modifying structured data across multiple formats. It uses a simple selector syntax to navigate and manipulate JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, and CSV files, eliminating the need for format-specific tools. Its primary value is enabling consistent data extraction, updates, and format conversions in scripts and automation workflows.
Key Features:
  • Supports querying and editing JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, and CSV
  • Uses a consistent, intuitive selector syntax for all formats
  • Enables easy conversion between different data formats
  • Command-line focused for scripting and automation
Use Cases:
  • Extracting and modifying values in configuration files for DevOps tasks
  • Converting data between formats (e.g., JSON to YAML) in build pipelines
  • Parsing and manipulating structured output from APIs or commands
Alternatives:
  • jq – Powerful for JSON only, while dasel handles multiple formats
  • yq – Specializes in YAML/JSON processing; dasel adds TOML, XML, and CSV support
