Dasel
Dasel is a multi-format data processor and structured data query tool used for querying, editing, and converting data across JSON, YAML, TOML, and XML. It functions as a universal data converter and a cross-format configuration editor that allows users to interact with various serialization formats through a single unified interface.
The tool provides a selector-based interface for extracting and searching nested values and modifying keys and values across different file types. It enables the transformation of data between supported structures to change file types while preserving the original content and structure.
Its capabilities cover structured data extraction, nested data searching, and the modification of values within configuration files. It also supports data structure transformation to ensure compatibility between diverse storage systems and automation tools.
