DATA-VIEWER(1p)

💖 data_viewer — the manual, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, so this is DATA-VIEWER(1p) from the Perl world, and it's literally just a lil command that pops open a whole widget for your JSON or YAML data. she's giving "I don't do cat and squint, I do ✨visualize✨". no cap. 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

data_viewer — opens a data viewer widget for your JSON or YAML data 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

# view json file
data_viewer file.json

# viewn yaml file
data_viewer file.yml

# pipe json data
data_viewer -json < file.json

# pipe yaml data
data_viewer -yaml < file.yml

(yes the comment says viewn and yes we are keeping it exactly as-is, that's her little typo and it's iconic, we respect it 🙈)

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

this command opens a Tk::ObjScanner widget for the data stored in a YAML or JSON file. main character behavior honestly.

and the way you can use it is lowkey flexible: you can hand it a file as an argument, or you can pipe the data straight into data_viewer. either one, she's ready. 🫶

quick note for the girlies: the YAML file suffix can be yaml or yml. both slay, both work.

---

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

• -json — parse the data as JSON. that's the whole vibe. ✨
• -yaml — parse the data as YAML. equally valid, equally gorgeous. 💜

---

💀 BUGS 💀

okay so, full transparency, here's what's a lil broken, no gatekeeping:

• YAML anchor and aliases are ignored. so the data is seen as duplicated in the widget. like, it's all there, but it's giving twins where there should be one girlie. 😭
• JSON objects are showed as "HASH", which is Perl terminology. not a JSON thing, not a YAML thing, just Perl being Perl. 💀

• Tk::ObjScanner

🧚 POD ERRORS 🧚

hey! the above document had some coding errors, which are explained below:

around line 120:

=cut found outside a pod block.  Skipping to next block.

(not me snitching on the doc's own formatting, but the manpage said it so we say it 💅)

and that's the whole page, bestie!! perl v5.36.0, dated 2023-10-27, DATA-VIEWER(1p) — go open a viewer and look at your data in style. obsessed with her fr fr. 🎀✨💖🦋🌸👑
