json2yaml ===

A command-line utility to convert JSON to YAML (meaning a .json file to a .yml file)

The purpose of this utility is to pretty-print JSON in the human-readable YAML object notation (ignore the misnomer, YAML is not a Markup Language at all).

Installation ===

npm install -g json2yaml

Note: To use npm and json2yaml you must have installed NodeJS.

Usage ---

Specify a file:

json2yaml ./example.json > ./example.yml

yaml2json ./example.yml | json2yaml > ./example.yml

Or pipe from stdin:

curl -s http://foobar3000.com/echo/echo.json | json2yaml

wget -qO- http://foobar3000.com/echo/echo.json | json2yaml

Or require:

(function () {
  "use strict";

  var YAML = require('json2yaml')
    , ymlText
    ;

    ymlText = YAML.stringify({
      "foo": "bar"
    , "baz": "corge"
    });

}());


Example
===

So, for all the times you want to turn JSON int YAML (YML):

{ "foo": "bar" , "baz": [ "qux" , "quxx" ] , "corge": null , "grault": 1 , "garply": true , "waldo": "false" , "fred": "undefined" }
