YAML-to-JSON and JSON-to-YAML conversion

[electriquo]

Some other tools, convert YAML-to-JSON and JSON-to-YAML and even XML-to-JSON/YAML

$ echo 'foo: bar' | yq -c
{"foo":"bar"}

$ echo 'foo: bar' | yq -c | yq -y
foo: bar

I would love to see dasel do the same and rely only on dasel.
What do you think?

This is already possible using the -r,--read and -w,--write flags. You can read more on them here: https://daseldocs.tomwright.me/usage/select

$ echo 'foo: bar' | dasel -r yaml -w json -c
{"foo":"bar"}

$ echo 'foo: bar' | dasel -r yaml -w toml
foo = "bar"

$ echo 'foo: bar' | dasel -r yaml -w json | dasel -r json -w yaml
foo: bar

$ echo '<users><user><name>Tom</name></user><user><name>Jim</name></user></users>' | dasel -r xml -w yaml
users:
  user:
  - name: Tom
  - name: Jim
