  1. Convert yang to xml using pyang -f yin filename
  2. Convert xml file to json using any of the solutions below https://stackoverflow.com/a/10201397/3283069 https://stackoverflow.com/a/6465496/3283069

    This does not work, also its messy. The yang structure is a structure language. Converting to "JSON" or "XML" is based on the structure of the system using it, so this process is not as easy as "feed the yang into a converter". You need to read documentation, and understand the structure of the system trying to process yang models. – Dave Sep 02 '21 at 18:26

Yang is a modeling language, not a data generation language.

What you are asking for is a simulator that will contain the same or pseudo logic as your application to generate data.

    yang is a modeling language. json is a modeling language. It is very rational to convert data into a different format for different tools – Alexander Bird Oct 24 '17 at 20:36

    Yang is equivalent to JSON-schema. You can generate JSON objects from Yang models but not convert Yang to JSON unless I am not understanding this right. – kikas Sep 13 '19 at 19:05
