About the project

A portable command-line processor for YAML, JSON, XML, CSV, TOML, HCL and properties using jq-like syntax. It lets you read, filter and modify structured config files directly from the shell.

Useful for
  • Update a field in a Kubernetes manifest without editing YAML by hand
  • Extract specific fields from a JSON API response inside a bash script
  • Convert CSV or XML into YAML for further processing

1.8 Quiet Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 11, 2026, 11:14 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0815August 5, 2026November 2, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-11 (UTC), 00:02–11:08: 16069 → 16070 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +2 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • About 227 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
