Maybe add fromyaml to parse yaml strings?

[cwrau]

I saw #467 but this is not about input or output, just for parsing internally

So we could use it like this:

$ cat file.json
{
  "stuff.yaml": "apiVersion: v1\nkind: Namespace\nmetadata:\n  name: test\n"
}

$ cat file.json | jq '. | map(fromyaml)'
[
  {
    "apiVersion": "v1",
    "kind": "Namespace",
    "metadata": {
      "name": "test"
    }
  }
]

Working json example for reference;

$ cat file.json
{
  "stuff.json": "{\"apiVersion\":\"v1\",\"kind\":\"Namespace\",\"metadata\":{\"name\":\"test\"}}"
}

$ cat file.json | jq '. | map(fromjson)'
[
  {
    "apiVersion": "v1",
    "kind": "Namespace",
    "metadata": {
      "name": "test"
    }
  }
]

Hi, jq development is a bit stalled at the moment, but fq can do this already:

$ cat file.json | fq 'map(from_yaml)'
[
  {
    "apiVersion": "v1",
    "kind": "Namespace",
    "metadata": {
      "name": "test"
    }
  }
]

@wader Sorry, but we're trying to minimize our tools load and try to use tools that are common and mostly default

@cwrau 👍 No worries, very understandable. For now i think you probably have to use some additional tool to do this
