xq: Error running jq: ExpatError: not well-formed #76

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Here:

https://github.com/kislyuk/yq#xml-support

It says:

Roundtrip transcoding is available with the xq --xml-output / xq -x option.

but it doesnt actually work that way:

$ echo '{"foo": "bar"}' | xq -x .
xq: Error running jq: ExpatError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 1,
column 0.

This does work:

$ echo '{"foo": "bar"}' | yq -x .
<foo>bar</foo>

You misunderstood the documentation. xq expects XML input, while yq expects JSON input. -x controls the output format.

@kislyuk what documentation?

It seems that you are saying the quoted documentation is for xq -x. If thats the case, then yq -x isnt actually documented.

Correct.
