About:
shyaml is a command-line utility that parses YAML input from files or stdin and extracts specific values using key paths. It enables easy querying of YAML structures, allowing users to retrieve scalar values, lists, or entire sub-trees. This tool is particularly useful for shell scripting where YAML configuration files need to be processed without complex parsing logic.
Key Features:
  • Extracts values using dot-notation key paths
  • Supports reading from stdin or files
  • Handles nested structures and lists
  • Lightweight and fast Python-based implementation
Use Cases:
  • Reading configuration values from YAML files in shell scripts
  • Extracting specific data for CI/CD pipeline automation
  • Parsing Kubernetes manifests or Helm values
Alternatives:
  • yq – More powerful with full jq-like syntax, but heavier dependency
  • python -c 'import yaml' – More flexible but requires verbose Python code
