eYAML

A very thin YAML wrapper over eJSON.

eYAML lets you use eJSON with YAML files instead of JSON.

It converts YAML to JSON, runs ejson, and converts back.

Dependencies

• ejson
• yq (Mike Farah's implementation)

Usage

All subcommands, flags, options, and arguments are proxied to the ejson command, the behavior is identical except for working on YAML files:

eyaml encrypt secrets.eyml
eyaml decrypt secrets.eyml

Use .eyml or .eyaml file extensions.

Example

Create secrets.eyml:

_public_key: 85d47d85be8...

database:
  host: localhost
  password: supersecret

After eyaml encrypt secrets.eyml:

_public_key: 85d47d85be8...

database:
  host: "EJ[1:AbC12x...]"
  password: "EJ[1:KP3wLB...]"

The decrypt command outputs decrypted YAML to stdout.
