    Project mention: TomWright/dasel: Select, put and delete data from JSON, TOML, YAML, XML and CSV | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-08-18

    PowerShell[0]'s built-in Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility[1] module has commands to convert from/to JSON[2], CSV[3], a version of XML[4], or custom key/value pairs[5] into objects, which can then be manipulated. Combined with IO cmdlets such as Get-Content[6] and Set-Content[7], a fair chunk of flat-file storage should be able to be made mutable with PowerShell.
