It doesn't yet support everything `jq` does - but it does support the most common operations and functions, and more is being added continuously. -The aim of the project is to be the [jq](https://github.com/stedolan/jq) or sed of yaml files. +yq is written in go - so you can download a dependency free binary for your platform and you are good to go! If you prefer there are a variety of package managers that can be used as well as docker, all listed below. ## 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!
