laconv

Laconv is a command-line utility designed for converting between various data serialization formats. It aims to provide a simple and efficient way to transform data from one format to another without requiring complex programming. The tool supports a range of common formats, including JSON, YAML, XML, CSV, and TOML. Its primary function is to read data from an input file, parse it according to its specified format, and then write the data to an output file in a different, user-chosen format.

The typical usage of laconv involves specifying the input file, the output file, and the respective formats for each. For example, a user might convert a JSON file to a YAML file using a command like `laconv input.json output.yaml`. The utility handles the parsing and serialization process internally. Laconv is often used in scripting and automation tasks where data needs to be exchanged between systems that use different data formats. It is a cross-platform tool, available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The project emphasizes ease of use and a minimal learning curve for users who need to perform common data format conversions.
