The aim of the project is to be the [jq](https://github.com/stedolan/jq) or sed of yaml files.
## V4 released!
V4 is now officially released, it's quite different from V3 (sorry for the migration), however it is much more similar to ```jq```, using a similar expression syntax and therefore support much more complex functionality!
If you've been using v3 and want/need to upgrade, checkout the [upgrade guide](https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/v/v4.x/upgrading-from-v3).

## Upgrade from V3
If you've been using v3 and want/need to upgrade, checkout the [upgrade guide](https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/v/v4.x/upgrading-from-v3).
## V4 is in development!
If you're keen - check out the alpha release [here](https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/releases/), or in docker `mikefarah/yq:4-beta1` and the docs (also in beta) [here](https://mikefarah.gitbook.io/yq/v/v4.x-alpha/).
V4 is quite different from V3 (sorry for the migration), however it will be much more similar to ```jq```, use a similar expression syntax and therefore support much more complex functionality!
For now - new features will be held off from V3 in anticipation of the V4 build. Critical fixes / issues will still be released.
## Known Issues / Missing Features
- `yq` attempts to preserve comment positions and whitespace as much as possible, but it does not handle all scenarios (see https://github.com/go-yaml/yaml/tree/v3 for details)
