Python to convert json to yaml

json2yaml.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# convert json to yaml

# python3 json2yaml.py < ~/code/manpow/moneybug/mbuploader/support/offices.json

import yaml, json, sys
sys.stdout.write(yaml.dump(json.load(sys.stdin)))

Works like a Charm, however, running it through Pylint and Pycodestyle and autopep8, I have mine looking like...

import json
import sys
import yaml


sys.stdout.write(yaml.dump(json.load(sys.stdin)))

Usage

cat azurerm-template.json | python json2yaml.py | tee azurerm-template.yaml

If we want to preserve the order of the json file and we have PyYAML >= 5.1...
