yaml.sh

Portable YAML query, edit, and conversion tool in one POSIX shell file

Desktopfree

yaml.sh is a free, open-source, yq-shaped YAML processor written as a single portable POSIX shell and AWK file, so it runs anywhere without installing an extra runtime or package manager. It queries, transforms, validates, and edits YAML while preserving comments and formatting on unrelated content, and also reads and writes JSON, TOML, INI, and XML. It's for developers who need reliable YAML processing in minimal or locked-down environments where installing a separate binary or runtime isn't practical.
