JSON_REFORMAT(1)

✨ NAME ✨

json_reformat — a simple json reformatting tool 💅 (yes bestie, that's the whole job and it does it flawlessly)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

json_reformat [options] < input-file [> output-file]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: json_reformat reads json data straight from standard input and sends the formatted version right back out to standard output. it's giving middleman but make it useful.

by default it tries to format everything for readability — like it's doing your json's hair and makeup before the party. and here's the vibe check: if the input file is valid, you get success (a zero result) 🎀. if it's not valid, you get failure (a nonzero result) 💀. no cap, that's the whole personality.

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -e — escape any forward slashes (this is for when you're embedding your json in HTML, so the slashes don't start drama with the parser) 🔥
• -m — minimize json rather than beautify. so instead of glamming it up, you're squishing it down to the bare minimum. tiny. compact. lowkey iconic.
• -s — reformat a stream of multiple json entities. bc sometimes there's not just one json, there's like, a whole group chat of them 📱✨
• -u — allow invalid UTF8 inside strings during parsing. living dangerously, love that for you 🙈
