About yq

yq applies jq-style expressions to YAML and several other structured formats, reading, filtering, transforming and writing them back while preserving comments and ordering where possible. It is a single portable Go binary.

Strengths

  • jq-like syntax across YAML, JSON, XML, CSV and TOML
  • Preserves comments and key order when editing YAML in place

Limitations

  • Shares a name with an unrelated Python wrapper, which causes confusion
  • Expression syntax differs from jq in places that trip people up
