Note that YAML is a superset of (single document) JSON - so you don't have to use the JSON parser to read JSON when there is only one JSON document in the input. You will probably want to pretty print the result in this case, to get idiomatic YAML styling.
## Parse json: simple
JSON is a subset of yaml, so all you need to do is prettify the output
Given a sample.json file of:
```json
{"cat": "meow"}
```
then
```bash
yq -P '.' sample.json
```
will output
```yaml
cat: meow
```
## Parse json: complex
JSON is a subset of yaml, so all you need to do is prettify the output
Given a sample.json file of:
```json
{"a":"Easy! as one two three","b":{"c":2,"d":[3,4]}}
```
then
```bash
yq -P '.' sample.json
```
will output
```yaml
a: Easy! as one two three
b:
c: 2
d:
- 3
- 4
```
## Encode json: simple
Given a sample.yml file of:
```yaml
cat: meow
```
then
```bash
yq -o=json '.' sample.yml
```
will output
```json
{
"cat": "meow"
}
```
## Encode json: simple - in one line
Given a sample.yml file of:
```yaml
cat: meow # this is a comment, and it will be dropped.
```
then
```bash
yq -o=json -I=0 '.' sample.yml
```
will output
```json
{"cat":"meow"}
```
## Encode json: comments
Given a sample.yml file of:
```yaml
cat: meow # this is a comment, and it will be dropped.
```
then
```bash
yq -o=json '.' sample.yml
```
will output
```json
{
"cat": "meow"
}
```
## Encode json: anchors
Anchors are dereferenced
Given a sample.yml file of:
```yaml
cat: &ref meow
anotherCat: *ref
```
then
```bash
yq -o=json '.' sample.yml
```
will output
```json
{
"cat": "meow",
"anotherCat": "meow"
}
```
## Encode json: multiple results
Each matching node is converted into a json doc. This is best used with 0 indent (json document per line)
Given a sample.yml file of:
```yaml
things: [{stuff: cool}, {whatever: cat}]
```
then
```bash
yq -o=json -I=0 '.things[]' sample.yml
```
will output
```json
{"stuff":"cool"}
{"whatever":"cat"}
```
## Roundtrip NDJSON
Unfortunately the json encoder strips leading spaces of values.
Given a sample.json file of:
```json
{"this": "is a multidoc json file"}
{"each": ["line is a valid json document"]}
{"a number": 4}
```
then
```bash
yq -p=json -o=json -I=0 sample.json
```
will output
```yaml
{"this":"is a multidoc json file"}
{"each":["line is a valid json document"]}
{"a number":4}
```
## Roundtrip multi-document JSON
The NDJSON parser can also handle multiple multi-line json documents in a single file!
Given a sample.json file of:
```json
{
"this": "is a multidoc json file"
}
{
"it": [
"has",
"consecutive",
"json documents"
]
}
{
"a number": 4
}
```
then
```bash
yq -p=json -o=json -I=2 sample.json
```
will output
```yaml
{
"this": "is a multidoc json file"
}
{
"it": [
"has",
"consecutive",
"json documents"
]
}
{
"a number": 4
}
```
## Update a specific document in a multi-document json
Documents are indexed by the `documentIndex` or `di` operator.
Given a sample.json file of:
```json
{"this": "is a multidoc json file"}
{"each": ["line is a valid json document"]}
{"a number": 4}
```
then
```bash
yq -p=json -o=json -I=0 '(select(di == 1) | .each ) += "cool"' sample.json
```
will output
```yaml
{"this":"is a multidoc json file"}
{"each":["line is a valid json document","cool"]}
{"a number":4}
```
## Find and update a specific document in a multi-document json
Use expressions as you normally would.
Given a sample.json file of:
```json
{"this": "is a multidoc json file"}
{"each": ["line is a valid json document"]}
{"a number": 4}
```
then
```bash
yq -p=json -o=json -I=0 '(select(has("each")) | .each ) += "cool"' sample.json
```
will output
```yaml
{"this":"is a multidoc json file"}
{"each":["line is a valid json document","cool"]}
{"a number":4}
```
## Decode NDJSON
Given a sample.json file of:
```json
{"this": "is a multidoc json file"}
{"each": ["line is a valid json document"]}
{"a number": 4}
```
then
```bash
yq -p=json sample.json
```
will output
```yaml
this: is a multidoc json file
---
each:
- line is a valid json document
---
a number: 4
```

## Encode array of objects to csv - missing fields behaviour
First entry is used to determine the headers, and it is missing 'likesApples', so it is not included in the csv. Second entry does not have 'numberOfCats' so that is blank
Given a sample.yml file of:
```yaml
- name: Gary
numberOfCats: 1
height: 168.8
- name: Samantha's Rabbit
height: -188.8
likesApples: false
```
then
```bash
yq -o=csv sample.yml
```
will output
```csv
name,numberOfCats,height
Gary,1,168.8
Samantha's Rabbit,,-188.8
```
## Parse CSV into an array of objects
First row is assumed to be the header row.
Given a sample.csv file of:
```csv
name,numberOfCats,likesApples,height
Gary,1,true,168.8
Samantha's Rabbit,2,false,-188.8
```
then
```bash
yq -p=csv sample.csv
```
will output
```yaml
- name: Gary
numberOfCats: 1
likesApples: true
height: 168.8
- name: Samantha's Rabbit
numberOfCats: 2
likesApples: false
height: -188.8
```
## Parse TSV into an array of objects
First row is assumed to be the header row.
Given a sample.tsv file of:
```tsv
name numberOfCats likesApples height
Gary 1 true 168.8
Samantha's Rabbit 2 false -188.8
```
then
```bash
yq -p=tsv sample.tsv
```
will output
```yaml
- name: Gary
numberOfCats: 1
likesApples: true
height: 168.8
- name: Samantha's Rabbit
numberOfCats: 2
likesApples: false
height: -188.8
```
## Round trip
Given a sample.csv file of:
```csv
name,numberOfCats,likesApples,height
Gary,1,true,168.8
Samantha's Rabbit,2,false,-188.8
```
then
```bash
yq -p=csv -o=csv '(.[] | select(.name == "Gary") | .numberOfCats) = 3' sample.csv
```
will output
```csv
name,numberOfCats,likesApples,height
Gary,3,true,168.8
Samantha's Rabbit,2,false,-188.8
```
