yq

Aims to be a little brother to jq, but for YAML documents.

Everything from the Basic Filters section of the jq manual is supported - at least yq acts the same way as jq in the examples there. Object construction also more or less works.

Testing

There are basic unit-tests for some of the operators, but the meat of the test suite are the functional tests defined in functional_tests/*.yml files and run by run_functional_tests.py.

The whole test suite of jq is in functional_tests/jq.txt, run by run_jq_tests.py. Sections starting with a line containing skip are, surprisingly, skipped - until that functionality is implemented.

They're all started by nosetests

Roadmap

• Work the same way as jq for the "Types and Values" section
• Operators, functions
• Check if operators can be refactored
• Package, release
• Conditionals, comparisons
• "Advanced features", Assignment from the jq manual
