textproc/xt-rs 0.20.0 NetBSD

xt is a cross-format translator for JSON, YAML, TOML, and MessagePack.

xt is built to do one thing well, and tries to maintain a minimal interface and feature set. The most common options are -t to specify an output format other than JSON, and one or more files to read from rather than standard input.

Some of xt's notable features include:

• Automatic Format Detection When the input format is not specified with the -f option, xt can detect it automatically by file extension, or by examining the content of the input stream itself.
• Multi-Document Support With most output formats, xt can translate multiple input files, each containing one or more independent documents, to a single output stream. For example, a set of YAML files with documents separated by --- markers can translate to a single stream of newline-delimited JSON objects. With format detection enabled, xt can even translate input files in different formats to a single output.
• Streaming Translation xt can translate multi-document inputs from unbounded sources like shell pipes with minimal buffering, while still supporting features like automatic format detection. Streaming is enabled automatically whenever it's required.
