validjson
Simpel command line JSON validator with an API. Support nodejs >=7.0.0.
Tested to work in Windows PowerShell and *nix bash terminal.
Installation
npm i -g valid-json-cli
Usage
Usage: validjson path [options]
cat file.json | validjson [options]
validjson [options] < file.json
Options:
-s, --silent no text output - will still exit with exitcode 0 or 1
-v, --version display version number and exit
-h, --help display this help and exit
Currently the only option which does something is --silent
, which supresses error hint
on error. It does not matter if you set the option before or after the path if you
supply a file as parameter. Unknown parameters are ignored.
The difference between validjson file.json
and validjson < file.json
is that
in the former, nodejs fs is reading the file and
in the latter, your terminal (e.i. bash etc) is reading the file and streaming it to validjson.
Graphical error hint
