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:

• CBOR
• JSON
• MsgPack
• YAML
• Pickle
• RON
• TOML
• x-www-form-urlencoded ("url" or "www-form")

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
