flamel - flip YAML to JSON, and/or JSON to YAML

Just like Nicholas Flamel, who could simply grab a pile of lead and turn it in to gold when he needed gold, flamel will turn your pile of YAML in to JSON when you need JSON. It will also turn your JSON in to YAML if that's what you want it to do.

A few features:

• Tries to detect input and flip to the alternative
• Maintains the order of keys in mappings from input to output

Install

Flamel is available in the cheese shop: https://pypi.org/project/flamel/

You can install it with pip install flamel
