# thisthat

Data format conversion utility.

## About

**thisthat** provides a command-line tool `tt` for converting between data formats.

It can to and from convert between these formats:

- CBOR

- JSON

- MsgPack

- YAML

- Pickle

- RON

- TOML

- x-www-form-urlencoded ("url" or "www-form")

## Usage

`tt` reads from stdin and writes to stdout. Specify the formats using positional

parameters, e.g. `tt THIS THAT`. For example, to convert from JSON to TOML, use

`tt json toml`.

```console

$  echo '{"abc": 123 }' | tt json toml

abc = 123

```

To convert data from a file, use `cat` (or an equivalent tool) to do the reading.

```console

$ echo '{"abc": 123 }' > /tmp/example.json

$ cat /tmp/example.json | tt json toml

abc = 123

```

Some formats produce non-printable characters. Send the output to anther tool to

generate readable output.

```console

$  echo '{"abc": 123 }' | tt json msgpack | base64
