@parse

This is a collection of functions for parsing text formats.

@parse/json(text)

Parses the indicated text as JSON using the JavaScript JSON.parse() method.

@parse/yaml(text)

Parses the indicated text as JSON or YAML. The parsed plain JavaScript object is returned or, if the parse fails, this returns undefined. This can be used to parse JSON or YAML files.

Parsing a quoted argument on the command line:

$ ori @parse/yaml "'[1, 2, 3]'"
- 1
- 2
- 3

This is similar to the @tree/plain function, but that can only parse JSON/YAML representing trees. In contrast, the @parse/yaml function can handle text representing things that aren’t trees, such as arrays, dates, and numbers.
