Public API?

[briantopping]

Please describe your feature request.
Hi I love yq, appreciate that the syntax is well-known. Would like to integrate it into a golang app I am writing.

I'm sure it's simple enough to grab some API and link it in, but there's no stability contract there.

Any chance that a public API could be created and documented?

it's on my list of things to do :)

shouldn't be too far off having something - though it would be good to have input. I'm thinking of basically exposing the stream_evaluator and the all_at_once_evaluator, which basically lets you run expressions against yaml (via filenames, or directly as nodes).

Is that what you are looking for?

Yes, I am looking to provide the capability to dynamically search [EDIT: and replace] on a YAML tree of nodes. This code is an awkward implementation of what I suspect could be done very elegantly with yq.

I found this which shows an example of how to query a basic expression https://gist.github.com/mkatychev/80138136f05fd9cbbcb9b88047cba7ca
