oq
Portable jq wrapper with XML and YAML support
TLDR
Query JSON (same as jq)
$ oq '.[0]' [file.json]
Convert YAML to JSON$ oq -i yaml '.' [file.yaml]
Query XML and output as YAML$ oq -i xml -o yaml '.root.element' [file.xml]
SYNOPSIS
oq [options] filter [file]
DESCRIPTION
oq is a performant, portable jq wrapper that adds support for consuming and outputting formats beyond JSON, including XML and YAML. All jq filters work as expected — oq handles format conversion on input and output transparently.
PARAMETERS
-i FORMAT
Input format (json, yaml, xml). Default: json.-o FORMAT
Output format (json, yaml, xml). Default: json.--xml-root NAME
Root element name when transcoding to XML. Default: root.--indent N
Number of spaces per indentation level (default: 2).--tab
Use tabs instead of spaces for indentation.-h, --help
Display help. All other arguments are passed through to jq.
INSTALL
sudo apk add oq
brew install oq
nix profile install nixpkgs#oq
CAVEATS
Requires jq to be installed. XML-to-JSON conversion follows specific mapping rules that may not preserve all XML semantics.

oq was created by Blacksmoke16 and is written in Crystal.
