It is designed for shell scripts and command pipelines that need to extract or inspect YAML data without writing separate parsing code. The tool supports nested key access using dot notation, type inspection, sequence indexing, and iteration over keys and values with optional null-termination for safe handling of values containing newlines.\n\nThe package depends only on pyyaml and provides read-only access to YAML structures. It does not support write operations or all YAML specification subtleties, but handles common use cases like extracting configuration values, iterating over lists, and inspecting document structure. Output can be formatted for shell consumption, including null-terminated variants for robust piping.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need lightweight YAML querying in shell scripts. The package is stable, has low install friction, and carries no security vulnerabilities. However, the aging maintenance status (last release 2020-12-15) means it is unlikely to gain new features or adapt to future Python versions\u2014install it for established use cases, not as a foundation for new tooling."},"id":"shyaml","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/shyaml","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/shyaml.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/shyaml/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-12-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"shyaml","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"YAML for command line"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1789233,"position":3558,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.2"}
