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 permits,
otherwise they will be -escaped. You can use "-e ascii" to force
all Unicode characters to be escaped.
