A command line tool for translating YAML streams to JSON.

pip install y2j

y2j accepts YAML data and writes the equivalent JSON to STDOUT. The YAML may be read from a named file, or from STDIN.

• -c, --compressed: Print with no superfluous whitespace.
• -p, --pretty: Pretty-print the JSON output

The following examples are based on the contents of example.yml:

---
  y2j:
    - Is easy to use
    - Is neat

$ y2j -p example.yml

{
  "y2j": [
    "Is easy to use",
    "Is neat"
  ]
}

$ cat example.yml | y2j -p

{
  "y2j": [
    "Is easy to use",
    "Is neat"
  ]
}
