yaml2json

yaml2json
=========

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

See for an online demo.

The purpose of this utility is to minify YAML as JSON.
(ignore the misnomer, YAML is actually an Object Notation, not a Markup Language)

Installation
===

``bash
npm install -g yaml2json
`

Usage
===

Specify a file:

`bash
yaml2json ./example.kml

json2yaml ./example.json | yaml2json
`

Or pipe from stdin:

`bash
curl -s http://foobar3000.com/echo/echo.json | json2yaml | yaml2json

wget -qO- http://foobar3000.com/echo/echo.json | json2yaml | yaml2json
`

Example
===

`yaml
---
foo: bar
baz:
- qux
- quxx
corge: null
grault: 1
garply: true
waldo: "false"
fred: undefined
`

becomes

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

Note: JSON is a proper subset of YAML.
The difference is that YAML can use whitespace instead of syntax, which is more human-readable.
Also, YAML supports comments.
