# Encoder / Decoder
|
|
|
|
Encode operators will take the piped in object structure and encode it as a string in the desired format. The decode operators do the opposite, they take a formatted string and decode it into the relevant object structure.
|
|
|
|
Note that you can optionally pass an indent value to the encode functions (see below).
|
|
|
|
These operators are useful to process yaml documents that have stringified embeded yaml/json/props in them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Format | Decode (from string) | Encode (to string) |
|
|
| --- | -- | --|
|
|
| Yaml | from_yaml | to_yaml(i)/@yaml |
|
|
| JSON | from_json | to_json(i)/@json |
|
|
| Properties | | to_props/@props |
|
|
| CSV | | to_csv/@csv |
|
|
| TSV | | to_tsv/@tsv |
|
|
| XML | from_xml | to_xml(i)/@xml |
|
|
| Base64 | @base64d | @base64 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
CSV and TSV format both accept either a single array or scalars (representing a single row), or an array of array of scalars (representing multiple rows).
|
|
|
|
XML uses the `--xml-attribute-prefix` and `xml-content-name` flags to identify attributes and content fields.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Base64 assumes [rfc4648](https://rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4648.html) encoding. Encoding and decoding both assume that the content is a string.
