JSON2CIF(1)

💖 json2cif — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to json2cif(1), a General Commands Manual page, and honestly? it's giving "small tool, big slay". sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

json2cif — parse JSON CIF and print out CIF. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

json2cif [options] input.cif [input2.cif ...]

so you hand her some input.cif files (one, or a whole little squad of them), you optionally hand her some [options], and she does her thing. no cap.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Parse JSON CIF and print out CIF.

like. literally that. you give her JSON CIF, she reads it, she prints CIF back at you. iconic behaviour, zero notes 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's the full menu, babes. every single one, no skips:

• --exclude-misspelled-tags — Remove tags that were not present in the recognised tag list.
• --dont-exclude-misspelled-tags, — the little "nope" button for the option above.
• --no-exclude-misspelled-tags — also the little "nope" button. Disable the --exclude-misspelled-tags option.
• --retain-tag-order — Print tags in the same order they appeared in the original file. she remembers. she respects the lore 🫶
• --dont-retain-tag-order — Disregard original tag order while printing the tags (default). chaos mode is the factory setting, apparently.
• --preserve-loop-order — Print loops in the same order they appeared in the original file.
• --use-internal-loop-order — Disregard original loop order while printing the tags (default). yes, the description really does say "tags" there, we're keeping it exactly as written, don't @ me.
• --folding-width 76 — Specify the length of the longest unfolded line (default: 76). seventy-six. that's the number. remember it for the vibe check 📏
• --fold-long-fields — Fold fields, longer than folding width. if a field is too long for the line, she folds it like laundry 🧺
• --dont-fold-long-fields — Do not fold fields (default). let them hang out. let them be long. let them live.
• --help, --usage — Output a short usage message (this message) and exit. she tells you how to use her, then she leaves. main character exit 🚪✨
• --version — Output version information and exit. she announces herself and dips.

ngl bestie, the defaults are lowkey doing a lot of the work here: no tag-order retaining, internal loop order, no folding, width 76. if you want the original vibes preserved, you gotta ask for it. periodt.
