Argunauts

JSON and the Argunauts

This package contains a parser for Argument Object Notation (ArgON). All objects expressible in JSON are convenient to express at the command line with ArgON.

Type	JSON	ArgON
Object	{"hello": "World"}	[ --hello World ]
Array	["beep", "boop"]	[ beep boop ]
Array	[1, 2, 3]	[ 1 2 3 ]
Empty Array	[]	[ ] or []
Object	{"a": 10, b: 20}	[ --a 10 --b 20 ]
Empty Object	{}	[ -- ]
Number	1	1
Number	-1	-1
Number	1e3	1e3
String	"hello"	hello
String	"hello world"	'hello world'
String	"10"	-- 10
String	"-10"	-- -10
String	"-"	-- -
String	"--"	-- --
True	true	-t
False	false	-f
Null	null	-n

Argunauts includes an argon command which accepts ArgON arguments and the -t or --tab option and prints the corresponding JSON.
