Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

A commandline utility to convert YAML / YML to JSON

Readme

yamlxjson

Note: These utilities were taken from https://github.com/coolaj86/yaml2json and https://github.com/coolaj86/json2yaml

They are combined into one repo / package with the latest changes published to npm.

Installation

npm install -g yamlxjson

yaml2json

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

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

Usage

Specify a file:

yaml2json ./example.yml

json2yaml ./example.json | yaml2json

Or pipe from stdin:

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

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

Example

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

becomes

{
  "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.

Alias

yaml2json has the following aliases:

  • yml2json
  • yamltojson
  • ymltojson

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).

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"
    });

    console.log(ymlText);
}());

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"
}

becomes

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

Note: In fact, both of those Object Notations qualify as YAML because JSON technically is a proper subset of YAML. That is to say that all proper YAML parsers parse proper JSON.

YAML can use either whitespace and dashes or brackets and commas.

For human readability, the whitespace-based YAML is preferrable. For compression and computer readability, the JSON syntax of YAML is preferrable.

Alias

json2yaml has the following aliases:

  • jsontoyaml
  • json2yml
  • jsontoyml
