About:
Yq is a lightweight, portable command-line YAML, JSON, and XML processor. It works like jq but for multiple data formats, allowing you to read, write, and manipulate structured data files directly from the terminal. It is ideal for parsing API responses, configuration files, and logs without needing heavy scripting.
|
Key Features:
- Multi-format support (YAML, JSON, XML, CSV, Properties)
- jq-like syntax for querying and editing
- Zero-dependency binary
- Cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows)
|
Use Cases:
- Extracting values from Kubernetes manifests or Helm charts
- Parsing JSON API responses in shell scripts
- Converting configuration files between YAML and JSON
- Automating updates to CI/CD pipeline variables
|
Alternatives:
-
jq
– jq is JSON-only and faster for large JSON datasets, but lacks native YAML/XML support
-
dasel
– Dasel supports similar formats but uses a different query syntax and Go-based selector expressions
