This has been in the works for a long time, and is almost a complete rewrite of dasel.

A lot of features have been added and I'm sure there will be some issues - please let me know about these and I'll fix them.

See the updated documentation.

Added

• Major new version release.
• INI support.
• HCL support.
• Dasel syntax now supports variables and expressions.
• Files can now be read and parsed inside a dasel query.
• Variables can now be passed to dasel from the command line.
• Support for comments in queries.
• Dasel config file to define default file format.
• Interactive mode for dasel CLI (alpha).

Changed

• Go module path changed to github.com/tomwright/dasel/v3.
• Internal changes to support new version.
• Query/selector syntax revamp. See docs for more information.
• Majority of read/write operations will now maintain ordering.
• Migrated from Cobra to Kong for CLI parsing/processing.
• Removed put and delete commands. Instead, modify within the query and use --root flag.

Fixed

• File redirect now works in the same way as piped input.
• Various other bug fixes and improvements.
• Whitespace in query syntax is now handled correctly.
