JSONLINT(1) General Commands Manual JSONLINT(1) NAME
jsonlint - A JSON syntax validator and formatter tool SYNOPSIS
jsonlint [-v][-s|-S][-f|-F][-ecodec]inputfile.json... DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the jsonlint commands. OPTIONS
The return status will be 0 if the file is legal JSON, or non-zero otherwise. Use -v to see the warning details. Options are: -v, -s, -S, -f, -F, -e -v, --verbose Show details of lint checking -s, --strict Be strict in what is considered legal JSON (the default) -S, --nonstrict Be loose in what is considered legal JSON -f, --format Reformat the JSON (if legal) to stdout -F, --format-compactly Reformat the JSON simlar to -f, but do so compactly by removing all unnecessary whitespace -e codec, --encoding=codec --input-encoding=codec --output-encoding=codec Set the input and output character encoding codec (e.g., ascii, utf8, utf-16). The -e will set both the input and output encodings to the same thing. If not supplied, the input encoding is guessed according to the JSON specification. The output encoding defaults to UTF-8, and is used when reformatting (via the -f or -F options). When reformatting, all members of objects (associative arrays) are always output in lexigraphical sort order. The default output codec is UTF-8, unless the -e option is provided. Any Unicode characters will be output as literal characters if the encoding per- mits, otherwise they will be -escaped. You can use "-e ascii" to force all Unicode characters to be escaped. AUTHOR

JSON_XS(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation JSON_XS(1p) NAME
json_xs - JSON::XS commandline utility SYNOPSIS
json_xs [-v] [-f inputformat] [-t outputformat] DESCRIPTION
json_xs converts between some input and output formats (one of them is JSON). The default input format is "json" and the default output format is "json-pretty". OPTIONS
-v Be slightly more verbose. -f fromformat Read a file in the given format from STDIN. "fromformat" can be one of: json - a json text encoded, either utf-8, utf16-be/le, utf32-be/le storable - a Storable frozen value storable-file - a Storable file (Storable has two incompatible formats) clzf - Compress::LZF format (requires that module to be installed) yaml - YAML (avoid at all costs, requires the YAML module :) eval - evaluate the given code as (non-utf-8) Perl, basically the reverse of "-t dump" -t toformat Write the file in the given format to STDOUT. "toformat" can be one of: json, json-utf-8 - json, utf-8 encoded json-pretty - as above, but pretty-printed json-utf-16le, json-utf-16be - little endian/big endian utf-16 json-utf-32le, json-utf-32be - little endian/big endian utf-32 storable - a Storable frozen value in network format storable-file - a Storable file in network format (Storable has two incompatible formats) clzf - Compress::LZF format yaml - YAML dump - Data::Dump dumper - Data::Dumper Note that Data::Dumper doesn't handle self-referential data structures correctly - use "dump" instead. EXAMPLES
json_xs -t null <isitreally.json "JSON Lint" - tries to parse the file isitreally.json as JSON - if it is valid JSON, the command outputs nothing, otherwise it will print an error message and exit with non-zero exit status. <src.json json_xs >pretty.json Prettify the JSON file src.json to dst.json. json_xs -f storable-file <file Read the serialised Storable file file and print a human-readable JSON version of it to STDOUT. json_xs -f storable-file -t yaml <file Same as above, but write YAML instead (not using JSON at all :) lwp-request http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/JSON-XS.json | json_xs Fetch the cpan-testers result summary "JSON::XS" and pretty-print it.
