JSON

Encode and decode to and from JSON. Note that, unless you have multiple JSON documents in a single file, YAML is a superset of JSON - so yq can read any json file without doing anything special.

If you do have mulitple JSON documents in a single file (e.g. NDJSON) then you will need to explicity use the json parser -p=json.

This means you don't need to 'convert' a JSON file to YAML - however if you want idiomatic YAML styling, then you can use the -P/--prettyPrint flag, see examples below.
