Welcome to the Scout Command-Line wiki!

Scout is a Swift library and a command-line tool to read and modify values in different data formats. This wiki deals with the command-line version. To read the documentation for the Swift package, please refer to the Github pages - if you are running Xcode 13 or higher, the documentation is also available in Xcode.

The current supported formats are:

• JSON
• Plist
• XML
• YAML

• The read command will output a single or group value.
• The set command will modify a single value in the data, or a key name.
• The delete command will delete a single or group value, acting recursively if specified.
• The add command will create a new single value in the data

The Playground folder offers a way to learn the Scout command-line interface commands with a set of files. The commands can be found on the Examples page and in the playground folder. All files have the same structure but hold a different type of data. The commands work regardless of the data type.
