CLI.JS(1)

✨ NAME ✨

cli.js — bestie, it's the command line for the JSON5 Data Interchange Format (JSON5) 💖

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so picture this: you got JSON5 files and you need to do stuff with them from your terminal. that's literally what this is. the whole vibe check goes like this:

Usage: json5 [options] <file>

and here's the little plot twist — if you don't hand over a <file>, then STDIN gets used instead. so she'll just sit there and wait for you to pipe something in. no cap 🫶

🎀 Options 🎀

• -s, --space — how many spaces to indent with. OR, if you're feeling spicy, 't' for tabs 🌈
• -o, --out-file [file] — sends the output to the file you name. don't name one? then it goes to STDOUT, periodt 💅
• -v, --validate — validates the JSON5 but does not output JSON. it's giving "just tell me if it's okay" 🙈
• -V, --version — outputs the version number 👑
• -h, --help — outputs usage information, your classic main character assist 💜

lowkey note: the capitalization matters, bestie — -v and -V are two completely different girls. one validates, one drops the version. don't mix them up ✨
