## Usage:

```

$ convfmt --help

cli tool which can convert different formats

Usage: convfmt [OPTIONS] --from  --to 

Options:

  -f, --from   [possible values: bson, csv, hjson, hocon, json, json5, jsonl, plist, ron, toml, toon, xml, yaml]

  -t, --to       [possible values: bson, csv, hjson, hocon, json, json5, jsonl, plist, ron, toml, toon, xml, yaml]

  -c, --compact      Compress output if possible (default = false)

  -h, --help         Print help

  -V, --version      Print version

```

```

$ cat cfg.yml | convfmt -f yaml -t toml > cfg.toml

$ convfmt -f json -t json < compact.json > pretty.json

$ curl https://api.github.com/users/oriontvv | convfmt -f json -t json5 > api.json5

```

By default `convfmt` tries to use `pretty` format. Enable `--compact` option for compression.

**Beware of `null`s, some formats don't support them (e.g. toml)**
