NAME
jsonlint - A JSON syntax validator and formatter tool
SYNOPSIS
jsonlint [-v][-s|-S][-f|-F][-ecodec]inputfile.json...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the jsonlint commands.
OPTIONS
The return status will be 0 if the file is legal JSON, or non-zero
otherwise. Use -v to see the warning details.
Options are: -v, -s, -S, -f, -F, -e
-v, --verbose
Show details of lint checking
-s, --strict
Be strict in what is considered legal JSON (the default)
-S, --nonstrict
Be loose in what is considered legal JSON
-f, --format
Reformat the JSON (if legal) to stdout
-F, --format-compactly
Reformat the JSON simlar to -f, but do so compactly by removing
all unnecessary whitespace
-e codec, --encoding=codec
--input-encoding=codec --output-encoding=codec
Set the input and output character encoding codec (e.g., ascii,
utf8, utf-16). The -e will set both the input and output
encodings to the same thing. If not supplied, the input
encoding is guessed according to the JSON specification. The
output encoding defaults to UTF-8, and is used when reformatting
(via the -f or -F options).
When reformatting, all members of objects (associative arrays)
are always output in lexigraphical sort order. The default
output codec is UTF-8, unless the -e option is provided. Any
Unicode characters will be output as literal characters if the
encoding permits, otherwise they will be -escaped. You can use
"-e ascii" to force all Unicode characters to be escaped.
