Dasel Save Abandoned

Select, put and delete data from JSON, TOML, YAML, XML and CSV files with a single tool. Supports conversion between formats and can be used as a Go package.

Dasel (short for data-selector) allows you to query and modify data structures using selector strings.

Comparable to jq / yq, but supports JSON, YAML, TOML, XML and CSV with zero runtime dependencies.

One tool to rule them all

Say good bye to learning new tools just to work with a different data format.

Dasel uses a standard selector syntax no matter the data format. This means that once you learn how to use dasel you immediately have the ability to query/modify any of the supported data types without any additional tools or effort.

Quickstart

Dasel is available on homebrew, ASDF, scoop, docker, Nix or as compiled binaries from the latest release.

brew install dasel

You can also install a development version with:

go install github.com/tomwright/dasel/v2/cmd/dasel@master

For more information see the installation documentation.

Select

echo '{"name": "Tom"}' | dasel -r json 'name'
"Tom"

See select documentation.

Convert json to yaml

echo '{"name": "Tom"}' | dasel -r json -w yaml
name: Tom

See select documentation.

Put

echo '{"name": "Tom"}' | dasel put -r json -t string -v '[email protected]' 'email'
{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "name": "Tom"
}

See put documentation.

Delete

echo '{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "name": "Tom"
}' | dasel delete -r json '.email'
{
  "name": "Tom"
}

See delete documentation.

Completion

If you want to use completion from the terminal you can do the following (using zsh in this example):

Add the following to ~/.zshrc and reload your terminal.

export fpath=(~/zsh/site-functions $fpath)
mkdir -p ~/zsh/site-functions
dasel completion zsh > ~/zsh/site-functions/_dasel
compinit

Pre-Commit

Add dasel hooks to .pre-commit-config.yaml file

- repo: https://github.com/TomWright/dasel
  rev: v1.25.1
  hooks:
    - id: dasel-validate

for a native execution of dasel, or use:

  • dasel-validate-docker pre-commit hook for executing dasel using the official Docker images
  • dasel-validate-bin pre-commit hook for executing dasel using the official binary

Issue vs Discussion

I have enabled discussions on this repository.

I am aware there may be some confusion when deciding where you should communicate when reporting issues, asking questions or raising feature requests so this section aims to help us align on that.

Please raise an issue if:

  • You find a bug.
  • You have a feature request and can clearly describe your request.

Please open a discussion if:

  • You have a question.
  • You're not sure how to achieve something with dasel.
  • You have an idea but don't quite know how you would like it to work.
  • You have achieved something cool with dasel and want to show it off.
  • Anything else!

Playground

You can test out dasel commands using the playground.

Benchmarks

In my tests dasel has been up to 3x faster than jq and 15x faster than yq.

See the benchmark directory.
