j2x -i JSON -o XML [-m] (minify) [-S] (simple XML)
j2y -i JSON -o YAML [-m] (minify YAML)
p2j -i PLIST -o JSON [-m] (minify) [-b] (keep binary)
p2x -i PLIST -o XML [-m] (minify) [-S] (simple XML)
p2y -i PLIST -o YAML [-m] (minify YAML)
x2j -i XML -o JSON [-m] (minify) [-b] (keep binary)
x2p -i XML -o PLIST [-b] (make binary PLIST)
x2y -i XML -o YAML [-m] (minify YAML)
y2j -i YAML -o JSON [-m] (minify) [-b] (keep binary)
y2p -i YAML -o PLIST [-b] (make binary PLIST)
y2x -i YAML -o XML [-m] (minify) [-S] (simple XML)
Also installs direct CLI tools that correspond to the commands:
csv22json
, csv22plist
, csv22xml
, csv22yaml
,json22plist
, json22xml
, json22yaml
,plist22json
, plist22xml
, plist22yaml
,xml22json
, xml22plist
, xml22yaml
,yaml22json
, yaml22plist
, yaml22xml
Note that they have 22
rather than 2
in the filenames, so they don’t conflict with other similar (often single-purpose) tools that you may have.
Examples
JSON to YAML
File to file via the dedicated CLI tool:
$ json22yaml -i input.json -o output.yaml
Using pipe redirects, via the yaplon tool with j2y command:
$ yaplon j2y < input.json > output.yaml
Read file, output minified to stdout, via the Python 3 module
$ python3 -m yaplon j2y -m -i input.json
PLIST to JSON
Read PLIST file, output minified JSON file, via the dedicated CLI tool.
$ plist22json -m -i input.plist > output.json
Read plist file, output minified JSON to stdout, via the yaplon tool with p2j command.
$ yaplon p2j -m -i input.plist
