Supported file formats

Dasel supports the following file formats:

• json

• yaml

  • Merge tags/aliases are supported in reads from v2.8.0.

• csv

• toml v1.0.0

• xml

• - (plain, write-only)

Note that

• Some format specific features such as comments may not be present in dasel output.

• Array ordering is not guaranteed. The JSON spec for example doesn't guarantee ordering. As a result dasel cannot either.

• The plain (-) parser can only be used when writing.
