Reading and Writing Data

The yaml / json / toml hooks

The yaml, json hooks allow reading and writing to files in essentially same way. Also see toml, ini, and file hooks which are similar.

To read from a file:

vars->: yaml some-file.yaml

To write to a file:

some:
  important: data

compact->: yaml some-file.yaml {{some}}
expanded:
  ->: yaml
  path: some-file.yaml
  data:
    important: data

The yaml_in_place / json_in_place / toml_in_place hooks

Note this is a WIP. Input welcome.

Yaml / json / toml can be updated in place, ie without having to both read and write the file over consecutive hook calls.

• yaml_in_place
• json_in_place - WIP

NOTE: These are still a WIP. Focus is on yaml_in_place and then will be shared by json and toml.
