yj is a command-line tool written in Go that converts between YAML, TOML, JSON, and HCL data formats while preserving map key order. It is also usable as a Go package for converting these formats into a normalized tree of ordered objects.

Use cases

  • convert yaml to from the command line
  • convert toml to yaml
  • convert hcl to
  • convert to toml
  • convert config files between formats preserving key order
  • pipe format conversion in shell scripts

When to avoid

  • you need conversion to formats beyond YAML, TOML, JSON, or HCL
  • you need a stable Go library API for embedding (the Go API is explicitly not stable)
  • you need GUI-based or batch directory-wide conversion tooling
