NAME¶

ydump - JSON pretty printer

SYNOPSIS¶

ydump [Options...] [file]

DESCRIPTION¶

ydump pretty prints data in the extended JSON format of the yojson library. JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and is a lightweight data-interchange format.

ydump reads from standard input if the file argument is omitted.

OPTIONS¶

-o <file>

pretty print to file instead of standard output

-std

use JSON standard syntax only: Convert tuples and variants into standard JSON, refuse to print NaN and infinities, require the root node to be either an object or an array.

-c

compact output

-s

streaming mode: read and write a sequence of JSON values instead of just one (this is the default).

-u

disable streaming mode: A single JSON record is expected.

-sort

sort object fields (default: preserve internal field order)

-ob

convert to biniou format and pretty print that (experimental)

-version

print version and exit

-help | --help

print options
