Hi,
You can first, convert it to a Newtonsoft Json (JObject) and then, do your stuff

// convert string/file to YAML object
var r = new StreamReader(filename); 
var deserializer = new Deserializer(namingConvention: new CamelCaseNamingConvention());
var yamlObject = deserializer.Deserialize(r);

// now convert the object to JSON. Simple!
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializer js = new Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializer();

var w = new StringWriter();
js.Serialize(w, yamlObject);
string jsonText = w.ToString();

then edit Json file
Regards,

Can this file open by text editor?

It is YAML so every space / intention counts

https://yaml.org/

Yeah I realized that and deleted my comment. My brain read it as XAML :smiley:

13

The same content whatever I gave can be copied and saved it as yaml file right.Can I know why we need TextEditor ?

14

what’s expect output?

15

The same yaml by changing values of cpu in limits to 5000m.

When I tried using python script, I am getting output as ,

All the indentation and other things are getting changed.

Suggesting again to try with YamlDotNet. See my previous post for a sample link on how to use it with UiPath. There’s also a wiki page you can check for other samples if you need.
