Data format conversion utility.

thisthat provides a command-line tool tt for converting between data formats. It can to and from convert between these formats:

• JSON
• MsgPack
• YAML
• Pickle
• RON
• TOML

tt reads from stdin and writes to stdout. Specify the formats using positional parameters, e.g. tt THIS THAT. For example, to convert from JSON to TOML, use tt json toml.

$  echo '{"abc": 123 }' | tt json toml
abc = 123

To convert data from a file, use cat (or an equivalent tool) to do the reading.

$ echo '{"abc": 123 }' > /tmp/example.json
$ cat /tmp/example.json | tt json toml
abc = 123

Some formats produce non-printable characters. Send the output to anther tool to generate readable output.

$  echo '{"abc": 123 }' | tt json msgpack | base64
