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

Rust project pipeline

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

How to use
