我知道这是非常具体的，但我认为我的回答可能对某些用户有帮助。 如果你的机器上安装了node和npm，你可以使用js-yaml。 首次安装:

npm i -g js-yaml
# or locally
npm i js-yaml

然后在bash脚本中

#!/bin/bash
js-yaml your-yaml-file.yml

如果你正在使用jq，你也可以这样做

#!/bin/bash
json="$(js-yaml your-yaml-file.yml)"
aproperty="$(jq '.apropery' <<< "$json")"
echo "$aproperty"

因为js-yaml将yaml文件转换为json字符串文字。然后，您可以在unix系统中的任何json解析器中使用该字符串。

如果您知道您感兴趣的标记和您期望的yaml结构，那么在Bash中编写一个简单的yaml解析器并不难。

在下面的示例中，解析器将一个结构化YAML文件读入环境变量、数组和关联数组。

注意:这个解析器的复杂性与YAML文件的结构有关。对于YAML文件的每个结构化组件，都需要一个单独的子例程。高度结构化的YAML文件可能需要更复杂的方法，例如通用的递归下降解析器。

圣诞节。yaml文件:

# Xmas YAML example
---
 # Values
 pear-tree: partridge
 turtle-doves: 2.718
 french-hens: 3

 # Array
 calling-birds:
   - huey
   - dewey
   - louie
   - fred

 # Structure
 xmas-fifth-day:
   calling-birds: four
   french-hens: 3
   golden-rings: 5
   partridges:
     count: 1
     location: "a pear tree"
   turtle-doves: two

解析器使用mapfile将文件作为数组读入内存，然后循环遍历每个标记并创建环境变量。

梨树、斑鸠和法国母鸡:最终成为简单的环境变量 呼叫鸟:变成一个数组 xmas-fifth-day:结构被表示为一个关联数组，但是如果您没有使用Bash 4.0或更高版本，您可以将这些数组编码为环境变量。 注释和空白将被忽略。

考虑到Python3和PyYAML是非常容易满足的依赖关系，下面的代码可能会有所帮助:

yaml() {
    python3 -c "import yaml;print(yaml.safe_load(open('$1'))$2)"
}

VALUE=$(yaml ~/my_yaml_file.yaml "['a_key']")

下面是一个bash-only解析器，利用sed和awk来解析简单的yaml文件:

function parse_yaml {
   local prefix=$2
   local s='[[:space:]]*' w='[a-zA-Z0-9_]*' fs=$(echo @|tr @ '\034')
   sed -ne "s|^\($s\):|\1|" \
        -e "s|^\($s\)\($w\)$s:$s[\"']\(.*\)[\"']$s\$|\1$fs\2$fs\3|p" \
        -e "s|^\($s\)\($w\)$s:$s\(.*\)$s\$|\1$fs\2$fs\3|p"  $1 |
   awk -F$fs '{
      indent = length($1)/2;
      vname[indent] = $2;
      for (i in vname) {if (i > indent) {delete vname[i]}}
      if (length($3) > 0) {
         vn=""; for (i=0; i<indent; i++) {vn=(vn)(vname[i])("_")}
         printf("%s%s%s=\"%s\"\n", "'$prefix'",vn, $2, $3);
      }
   }'
}

它可以理解以下文件:

## global definitions
global:
  debug: yes
  verbose: no
  debugging:
    detailed: no
    header: "debugging started"

## output
output:
   file: "yes"

在解析时使用:

parse_yaml sample.yml

将输出:

global_debug="yes"
global_verbose="no"
global_debugging_detailed="no"
global_debugging_header="debugging started"
output_file="yes"

它也理解由ruby生成的yaml文件，其中可能包含ruby符号，例如:

---
:global:
  :debug: 'yes'
  :verbose: 'no'
  :debugging:
    :detailed: 'no'
    :header: debugging started
  :output: 'yes'

并将输出与前一个示例相同的结果。

脚本中的典型用法是:

eval $(parse_yaml sample.yml)

Parse_yaml接受一个前缀参数，这样导入的所有设置都有一个公共前缀(这将减少名称空间冲突的风险)。

parse_yaml sample.yml "CONF_"

收益率:

CONF_global_debug="yes"
CONF_global_verbose="no"
CONF_global_debugging_detailed="no"
CONF_global_debugging_header="debugging started"
CONF_output_file="yes"

注意，之前文件中的设置可以被后面的设置引用:

## global definitions
global:
  debug: yes
  verbose: no
  debugging:
    detailed: no
    header: "debugging started"

## output
output:
   debug: $global_debug

另一个很好的用法是先解析默认文件，然后解析用户设置，这是可行的，因为后一个设置会覆盖第一个设置:

eval $(parse_yaml defaults.yml)
eval $(parse_yaml project.yml)

如果你有python 2和PyYAML，你可以使用我写的这个解析器parse_yaml.py。它做的一些更整洁的事情是让您选择一个前缀(以防您有多个具有类似变量的文件)，并从yaml文件中选择一个值。

例如，如果你有这些yaml文件:

staging.yaml:

db:
    type: sqllite
    host: 127.0.0.1
    user: dev
    password: password123

prod.yaml:

db:
    type: postgres
    host: 10.0.50.100
    user: postgres
    password: password123

您可以加载两者而不会产生冲突。

$ eval $(python parse_yaml.py prod.yaml --prefix prod --cap)
$ eval $(python parse_yaml.py staging.yaml --prefix stg --cap)
$ echo $PROD_DB_HOST
10.0.50.100
$ echo $STG_DB_HOST
127.0.0.1

甚至可以选择你想要的值。

$ prod_user=$(python parse_yaml.py prod.yaml --get db_user)
$ prod_port=$(python parse_yaml.py prod.yaml --get db_port --default 5432)
$ echo prod_user
postgres
$ echo prod_port
5432

我知道我的回答很具体，但是如果已经安装了PHP和Symfony，那么使用Symfony的YAML解析器会非常方便。

例如:

php -r "require '$SYMFONY_ROOT_PATH/vendor/autoload.php'; \
    var_dump(\Symfony\Component\Yaml\Yaml::parse(file_get_contents('$YAML_FILE_PATH')));"

这里我只是简单地使用var_dump来输出解析后的数组，当然你还可以做更多…：）
