A powerful CLI tool for bidirectional conversion between JSON, YAML, TOML, and ENV config formats.

Features

  • Bidirectional Conversion: Convert between any combination of supported formats
  • Smart Type Inference: Automatically detect and convert string values to appropriate Python types
  • Syntax Validation: Validate syntax of input files before conversion
  • Flatten/Unflatten: Transform nested structures to/from dot-notation keys
  • Schema Generation: Generate JSON Schema from parsed configurations
  • Shell Completion: Built-in support for bash, zsh, and fish completions
  • Offline Operation: Runs entirely offline with minimal dependencies
