yangpath is an XPATH/RESTCONF-styled schema paths exporter with superpowers.

The exported paths can be immediately used in your NETCONF/RESTCONF or gNMI applications.

Documentation available at https://yangpath.netdevops.me

XPATH paths

$ yangpath export --yang-dir ~/openconfig/public/ \
                    --module ~/openconfig/public/release/models/interfaces/openconfig-interfaces.yang
[rw]  /interfaces/interface[name=*]/config/description  string
[rw]  /interfaces/interface[name=*]/config/enabled  boolean
[rw]  /interfaces/interface[name=*]/config/loopback-mode  boolean
[rw]  /interfaces/interface[name=*]/config/mtu  uint16
[rw]  /interfaces/interface[name=*]/config/name  string
[rw]  /interfaces/interface[name=*]/config/type  identityref->ietf-if:interface-type
<SNIPPED>

RESTCONF paths

$ yangpath export --yang-dir ~/openconfig/public/ \
                    --module ~/openconfig/public/release/models/interfaces/openconfig-interfaces.yang
                    --style restconf
[rw]  /interfaces/interface=name/config/description  string
[rw]  /interfaces/interface=name/config/enabled  boolean
[rw]  /interfaces/interface=name/config/loopback-mode  boolean
[rw]  /interfaces/interface=name/config/mtu  uint16
[rw]  /interfaces/interface=name/config/name  string
[rw]  /interfaces/interface=name/config/type  identityref->ietf-if:interface-type

Features

• Preserved list keys
  The exported paths have the list keys present.
  Knowing the key names makes it very easy to create XPATH/RESTCONF filters targeting a particular node.
• Readily available for gNMI
  The exported paths are fully compatible with the gNMI paths, thanks to the keys being present and set to the wildcard * value.
• RESTCONF-ready
  With a matter of a single flag value switch yangpath will export the paths in a RESTCONF style. Paste them in Postman and you're good to go!
• Type information
  A unique yangpath feature is its ability to provide the type of a given path. Types give additional context when you retrieve the data, but they are of utter importance for edit the configuration operations.
• Fast
  Path export with yangpath is quite fast, working with massive models is no longer a problem!
• User friendly
  As always, we strive to publish the tools which spark joy, therefore pre-built images with an effortless installation and a beautiful and extensive documentation comes included.
