Value type

---

Consider the example input YAML file:

root_node:
  level_one:
    pswd: password
    usr: name

---

The type option will print the JSON value type, for example:

cat conf.yaml | rickle obj type /root_node/level_one/pswd

Outputs:

string

Or:

cat conf.yaml | rickle obj type /root_node/level_one

Outputs:

object

Using --output-type the printed type changes. Available types include YAML, JSON (default), TOML, XML, and python.

Depending on this type, the value could be:

Python	YAML	JSON	TOML	XML
str	str	string	String	xs:string
int	int	number	Integer	xs:integer
float	float	number	Float	xs:decimal
bool	boolean	boolean	Boolean	xs:boolean
list	seq	array	Array	xs:sequence
dict	map	object	Key/Value	xs:complexType
bytes	binary
*	Python	object	Other	xs:any

Examples:

cat conf.yaml | rickle --output-type XML obj type /root_node/level_one

Prints:

xs:complexType
