Data-serialization tools

• Comparison of data-serialization formats 

Twig

Terminal-based JSON & YAML viewer (TUI) for exploring and searching large files — fast, interactive, and privacy-first

• GitHub
• Python

Dasel

• GitHub
• Golang

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.

Install from github releases

Issues:

• No Delete command
• FR: Support HCL files

remarshal

• GitHub
• AUR package conflicts with haskell-yaml, which is a dependency of pandoc-cli
  • remarshal can also get installed as uv tool: uv tool install remarshal

Usage

Roundtrip:

remarshal test.toml --to json | remarshal --from json --to toml
