YEdit

A super simple tool to make editing JSON files more human-friendly.

Why?

I have been doing a lot of work with manipulating trees of JSON data recently. JSON was never really designed for humans, and as such it is non-trivial to read.

What?

YEdit will open your JSON file of choice, in your editor of choice, but will convert it to YAML for your ease of viewing.

Limitations

YEdit currently only works on Unix systems, I haven't needed to use it on Windows yet. Feel free to Pull Request.

Installation

Currently, you have to clone the repository, run pipenv install, and then run yedit.

I'll add it to PyPI and AUR, possibly a PPA when I have time.

Usage

Usage: yedit [OPTIONS] FILENAME

Options:
  --help  Show this message and exit.
