Why does this crate exists?

At work, I was looking for a tool to convert a java property file into a yaml formatted property file.

• since I didn't find any good cli tool for the job I wrote my own tool
• I was also interested in this new cool hip programming language called rust.

That's being said I am a noob when it comes to rust development. So please be nice 😁

Current state

General

• I already have unit and integration tests but bugs can still occur, so all in testing phase
• If you find any bugs please let me know on my GitHub project
  • please also leave the file content you wanted to convert in the bug report, so I can reproduce the bug

Supported conversions

• Conversion from property file to yaml ✔️
• Conversion from property file to json ✔️
• Conversion from yaml to property file ✔️

How to use

• convert test.properties file to json

• convert stdout as input for procon

cat test.json | procon -j yaml -
