sereal2dd - Convert between serialization formats

VERSION

This document describes version 0.164 of sereal2dd (from Perl distribution App-SerializeUtils), released on 2021-04-22.

SYNOPSIS

Usage:

% serializeutils-convert [OPTIONS] < INPUT-FILE

For example, when called as json2yaml:

% script-that-outputs-json | json2yaml

DESCRIPTION

This script can be called as various names to convert between serialization formats.

"dd" refers to Perl format, generated using Data::Dump or Data::Dumper and parsed using Perl's eval() or Data::Undump.

"ddc" refers to colored Perl format, generated using Data::Dump::Color.

"json" is of course the popular JavaScript Object Notation described in https://www.json.org.

"phpser" refers to PHP serialization format. This document describes the format in more details: http://www.phpinternalsbook.com/classes_objects/serialization.html. To serialize/deserialize this format, the script uses PHP::Serialization.

"sereal" refers to the Sereal format, described in https://github.com/Sereal/Sereal/blob/master/sereal_spec.pod.

"storable" refers to the Storable format.

"yaml" is the Yet Another Markup Language format specified in https://www.yaml.org.

sereal2json
sereal2phpser
sereal2storable
sereal2yaml

storable2dd
storable2ddc

OPTIONS

  • --(no-)color

    Only applies to output formats dd, ddc, json, yaml.

    Whether to use colors. The default is from the COLOR environment variable, or 1 when script is called interactively.

  • --(no-)compact

    Only applies to output formats json, dd.

    Whether to produce compact output. The default is false when outputing interactively. For format dd, will use Data::Dmp when producing compact output.

  • --(no-)safe

    Only applies to input format dd.

    Whether to parse safely. The default is false, which means parsing using Perl's eval. When set to true, will parse using Data::Undump but parsing might fail for more complex input, e.g. recursive data structures.

  • --dumper=s

    Only applies to output format dd.

    Set which dumper to use. Can be set to Data::Dump or Data::Dump::Color or Data::Dumper. The default is Data::Dump.

COMPLETION

This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several shells.

bash

To activate bash completion for this script, put:

complete -C sereal2dd sereal2dd

in your bash startup (e.g. ~/.bashrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is recommended, however, that you install modules using cpanm-shcompgen which can activate shell completion for scripts immediately.

tcsh

To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:

complete sereal2dd 'p/*/`sereal2dd`/'

in your tcsh startup (e.g. ~/.tcshrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.

It is also recommended to install shcompgen (see above).

other shells

For fish and zsh, install shcompgen as described above.

ENVIRONMENT

COLOR

Set the default for --color option.
