Data manipulation

[kcmerrill]

Not sure if this is a feature for alfred, or another standalone app, but regardless I'd like to document it here.

@iilyak had an idea regarding data manipulation for various data types(json, csv, yaml).

I'd love to see this actually, for getting rid of piping things around regular command line tools or having to resort to outside scripting, especially for parsing json/yaml datastructures.

Doesn't the template engine you're using support this already?

The closest thing I have currently is this: https://github.com/kcmerrill/alfred/blob/master/TFM.md#config

I'm currently working on another version of alfred that will have plugins more accessible out of the box, so even if it's not baked into alfred, outsides scripts can interact with alfred to do this work.
