JSON_PP(1perl) Perl Programmers Reference Guide JSON_PP(1perl)

json_pp - JSON::PP command utility

json_pp [-v] [-f from_format] [-t to_format] [-json_opt options_to_json1[,options_to_json2[,...]]]

json_pp converts between some input and output formats (one of them is JSON). This program was copied from json_xs and modified.

The default input format is json and the default output format is json with pretty option.

-f from_format

Reads a data in the given format from STDIN.

Format types:

as JSON
as Perl code

Writes a data in the given format to STDOUT.

no action.
as JSON
as Data::Dumper

options to JSON::PP

Acceptable options are:

ascii latin1 utf8 pretty indent space_before space_after relaxed canonical allow_nonref
allow_singlequote allow_barekey allow_bignum loose escape_slash indent_length

Multiple options must be separated by commas:

Right: -json_opt pretty,canonical
Wrong: -json_opt pretty -json_opt canonical

Verbose option, but currently no action in fact.

Prints version and exits.
