我已经用python编写了shyaml，用于从shell命令行查询YAML。

概述:

$ pip install shyaml      ## installation

示例的YAML文件(具有复杂的功能):

$ cat <<EOF > test.yaml
name: "MyName !!"
subvalue:
    how-much: 1.1
    things:
        - first
        - second
        - third
    other-things: [a, b, c]
    maintainer: "Valentin Lab"
    description: |
        Multiline description:
        Line 1
        Line 2
EOF

基本的查询:

$ cat test.yaml | shyaml get-value subvalue.maintainer
Valentin Lab

更复杂的循环查询复杂的值:

$ cat test.yaml | shyaml values-0 | \
  while read -r -d $'\0' value; do
      echo "RECEIVED: '$value'"
  done
RECEIVED: '1.1'
RECEIVED: '- first
- second
- third'
RECEIVED: '2'
RECEIVED: 'Valentin Lab'
RECEIVED: 'Multiline description:
Line 1
Line 2'

以下几个要点:

all YAML types and syntax oddities are correctly handled, as multiline, quoted strings, inline sequences... \0 padded output is available for solid multiline entry manipulation. simple dotted notation to select sub-values (ie: subvalue.maintainer is a valid key). access by index is provided to sequences (ie: subvalue.things.-1 is the last element of the subvalue.things sequence.) access to all sequence/structs elements in one go for use in bash loops. you can output whole subpart of a YAML file as ... YAML, which blend well for further manipulations with shyaml.

更多的示例和文档可以在shyaml github页面或shyaml PyPI页面上找到。

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']")

Whenever you need a solution for "How to work with YAML/JSON/compatible data from a shell script" which works on just about every OS with Python (*nix, OSX, Windows), consider yamlpath, which provides several command-line tools for reading, writing, searching, and merging YAML, EYAML, JSON, and compatible files. Since just about every OS either comes with Python pre-installed or it is trivial to install, this makes yamlpath highly portable. Even more interesting: this project defines an intuitive path language with very powerful, command-line-friendly syntax that enables accessing one or more nodes.

针对您的具体问题，在使用Python的本地包管理器或您的操作系统的包管理器安装yamlpath之后(yamlpath可以通过RPM对某些操作系统提供):

#!/bin/bash
# Read values directly from YAML (or EYAML, JSON, etc) for use in this shell script:
myShellVar=$(yaml-get --query=any.path.no[matter%how].complex source-file.yaml)

# Use the value any way you need:
echo "Retrieved ${myShellVar}"

# Perhaps change the value and write it back:
myShellVar="New Value"
yaml-set --change=/any/path/no[matter%how]/complex --value="$myShellVar" source-file.yaml

不过，您没有指定数据是一个简单的Scalar值，因此让我们提高赌注。如果你想要的结果是一个数组呢?更有挑战性的是，如果它是一个哈希数组，而你只想要每个结果的一个属性呢?进一步假设您的数据实际上分布在多个YAML文件中，并且您需要在单个查询中获得所有结果。这是一个更有趣的问题。所以，假设你有这两个YAML文件:

文件:data1.yaml

---
baubles:
  - name: Doohickey
    sku: 0-000-1
    price: 4.75
    weight: 2.7g
  - name: Doodad
    sku: 0-000-2
    price: 10.5
    weight: 5g
  - name: Oddball
    sku: 0-000-3
    price: 25.99
    weight: 25kg

文件:data2.yaml

---
baubles:
  - name: Fob
    sku: 0-000-4
    price: 0.99
    weight: 18mg
  - name: Doohickey
    price: 10.5
  - name: Oddball
    sku: 0-000-3
    description: This ball is odd

在应用数据2的更改后，如何仅报告库存中每个项目的sku。Yaml到data1。Yaml，所有从一个shell脚本?试试这个:

#!/bin/bash
baubleSKUs=($(yaml-merge --aoh=deep data1.yaml data2.yaml | yaml-get --query=/baubles/sku -))

for sku in "${baubleSKUs[@]}"; do
    echo "Found bauble SKU:  ${sku}"
done

你只需要几行代码就能得到你想要的东西:

Found bauble SKU:  0-000-1
Found bauble SKU:  0-000-2
Found bauble SKU:  0-000-3
Found bauble SKU:  0-000-4

如您所见，yamlpath将非常复杂的问题转化为简单的解决方案。注意，整个查询是作为一个流处理的;查询没有更改YAML文件，也没有临时文件。

I realize this is "yet another tool to solve the same question" but after reading the other answers here, yamlpath appears more portable and robust than most alternatives. It also fully understands YAML/JSON/compatible files and it does not need to convert YAML to JSON to perform requested operations. As such, comments within the original YAML file are preserved whenever you need to change data in the source YAML file. Like some alternatives, yamlpath is also portable across OSes. More importantly, yamlpath defines a query language that is extremely powerful, enabling very specialized/filtered data queries. It can even operate against results from disparate parts of the file in a single query.

If you want to get or set many values in the data at once -- including complex data like hashes/arrays/maps/lists -- yamlpath can do that. Want a value but don't know precisely where it is in the document? yamlpath can find it and give you the exact path(s). Need to merge multiple data file together, including from STDIN? yamlpath does that, too. Further, yamlpath fully comprehends YAML anchors and their aliases, always giving or changing exactly the data you expect whether it is a concrete or referenced value.

免责声明:我编写并维护了yamlpath，它是基于ruamel的。yaml是基于PyYAML的。因此，yamlpath完全符合标准。

我的用例可能与这篇原始文章所要求的完全相同，也可能不完全相同，但它肯定是相似的。

我需要拉一些YAML作为bash变量。YAML的深度永远不会超过一层。

YAML看起来是这样的:

KEY:                value
ANOTHER_KEY:        another_value
OH_MY_SO_MANY_KEYS: yet_another_value
LAST_KEY:           last_value

输出如下:

KEY="value"
ANOTHER_KEY="another_value"
OH_MY_SO_MANY_KEYS="yet_another_value"
LAST_KEY="last_value"

我用这一行实现了输出:

sed -e 's/:[^:\/\/]/="/g;s/$/"/g;s/ *=/=/g' file.yaml > file.sh

s/:[^:\/\/]/="/g查找:并将其替换为="，同时忽略://(对于url) S /$/"/g将"附加到每一行的末尾 S / *=/=/g删除=前面的所有空格

现在做这件事的一个快速方法(以前的方法对我没用):

sudo wget https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/releases/download/v4.4.1/yq_linux_amd64 -O /usr/bin/yq &&\
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/yq

示例asd.yaml:

a_list:
  - key1: value1
    key2: value2
    key3: value3

解析:根

user@vm:~$ yq e '.' asd.yaml                                                                                                         
a_list:
  - key1: value1
    key2: value2
    key3: value3

解析key3:

user@vm:~$ yq e '.a_list[0].key3' asd.yaml                                                                                             
value3

使用Python的PyYAML或YAML::Perl等库最容易进行复杂的解析。

如果您希望将所有YAML值解析为bash值，请尝试此脚本。这也可以处理注释。参见下面的示例用法:

# pparse.py

import yaml
import sys
            
def parse_yaml(yml, name=''):
    if isinstance(yml, list):
        for data in yml:
            parse_yaml(data, name)
    elif isinstance(yml, dict):
        if (len(yml) == 1) and not isinstance(yml[list(yml.keys())[0]], list):
            print(str(name+'_'+list(yml.keys())[0]+'='+str(yml[list(yml.keys())[0]]))[1:])
        else:
            for key in yml:
                parse_yaml(yml[key], name+'_'+key)

            
if __name__=="__main__":
    yml = yaml.safe_load(open(sys.argv[1]))
    parse_yaml(yml)

}

yaml "test.yml"
