NAME

json-glib-format - JSON-GLib formatting tool

SYNOPSIS

json-glib-format [-h--help] [--output FILE] [--prettify] [--indent-spaces SPACES] URI [URI...]

DESCRIPTION

json-glib-format offers a simple command line interface to format JSON data. It reads a list or URIs, applies the spacified formatting rules on the JSON data, and outputs the formatted JSON to the standard output or to a file.

The resources to operate on are specified by the URI argument.

COMMANDS

-h, --help

Prints help and exits.

--output FILE

Redirects the output to FILE instead of using the standard output.

-p, --prettify

Prettifies the output, by adding spaces and indentation. This argument is useful to improve the readability of JSON data, at the expense of its size.

--indent-spaces SPACES

Changes the number of spaces using to indent the JSON data from the default of 2. This argument is only considered if --prettify is used.
