default format assumption seems to be YAML from STDIN, even when piped input is obviously JSON

Hi,

This is a great little tool. But, it's auto-identification of input format doesn't appear to work. Even with obvious JSON, it returns:

YAML error: line 2: found unexpected ':'

Also, what's a MIXIN?

Hey @m-dunbar! Could you please show me an example input for which it fails?

Please mind that every JSON is a valid YAML since YAML is a superset of JSON. If YAML parser fails for a valid JSON input, it means there's a bug in YAML parser. Maybe upgrading yaml.v1 package to yaml.v3 would fix the issue?

Also you can force the input encoding type with -t flag, e.g. refmt -t json - output.hcl
