How to troubleshoot yaml parsing error "did not find expected key"?
Install jq and yq, and wrap your commands with | yq -y ..

Memes are all cool and all. But this is your daily remaining that 10000! =
Confusingly there is another project called yq that does exactly what you're suggesting and it's a preprocessor that converts yaml to json and then used jq. https://github.com/kislyuk/yq

Yq is a portable yq: command-line YAML, JSON, XML, CSV and properties processor
I personally find the yq tool from https://github.com/kislyuk/yq much more useful: it has all the same options and formats as `jq` (as it's really a wrapper around jq). Rather than the `yq` in the OP here where only partial functionality exists.

Show HN: Xq – command-line XML and HTML beautifier and content extractor
There is also yq [1], which attempts the same for yaml, toml and xml. (And confusingly also contains a binary named "xq" for querying xml, however with a different syntax)

To a Man with `Jq`, Everything Looks Like JSON
Did someone say let's represent structured data as json? a bit of shameless plug: https://github.com/wader/fq :) It's using a fork of gojq btw!

Jaq – A jq clone focused on correctness, speed, and simplicity
https://github.com/wader/fq has a REPL and can read JSON. Tip is to use "paste | from_json | repl" in a REPl to paste JSON into a sub-REPL, you can also use `` with fq which is a raw string literal

jq 1.7 Released
I do lots of exploratory work in various structure data, in my case often debugging media filea via https://github.com/wader/fq, which mean doing lots of use-once-queries on the command line or REPL. In those cases jq line-friendly and composable syntax and generators really shine.
