About:
yq is a command-line YAML and XML processor that leverages the power of jq. It provides a portable and convenient way to query, manipulate, and transform structured data formats directly from the terminal. The tool is particularly valuable for DevOps engineers and developers working with configuration files.
Key Features:
  • Wraps jq for YAML/XML processing
  • Supports complex queries and transformations
  • Preserves data structure and formatting
  • Command-line interface for automation
Use Cases:
  • Extracting specific values from Kubernetes manifests
  • Transforming YAML configuration files for different environments
  • Parsing XML API responses in shell scripts
Alternatives:
  • jq – Native jq only handles JSON, while yq extends this functionality to YAML and XML
  • yq (go-yq) – Go implementation with native YAML support, alternative to this Python wrapper
