Similar to the same named functions in `jq` these functions convert to/from an object and an array of key-value pairs. This is most useful for performing operations on keys of maps. ## to_entries Map Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml a: 1 b: 2 ``` then ```bash yq eval 'to_entries' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml - key: a value: 1 - key: b value: 2 ``` ## to_entries Array Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml - a - b ``` then ```bash yq eval 'to_entries' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml - key: 0 value: a - key: 1 value: b ``` ## to_entries null Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml null ``` then ```bash yq eval 'to_entries' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml ``` ## from_entries map Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml a: 1 b: 2 ``` then ```bash yq eval 'to_entries | from_entries' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml a: 1 b: 2 ``` ## from_entries with numeric key indexes from_entries always creates a map, even for numeric keys Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml - a - b ``` then ```bash yq eval 'to_entries | from_entries' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml 0: a 1: b ``` ## Use with_entries to update keys Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml a: 1 b: 2 ``` then ```bash yq eval 'with_entries(.key |= "KEY_" + .)' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml KEY_a: 1 KEY_b: 2 ``` ## Use with_entries to filter the map Given a sample.yml file of: ```yaml a: b: bird c: d: dog ``` then ```bash yq eval 'with_entries(select(.value | has("b")))' sample.yml ``` will output ```yaml a: b: bird ```
