=head1 NAME
json_xs - JSON::XS commandline utility
=head1 SYNOPSIS
json_xs [-v] [-f inputformat] [-t outputformat]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
F<json_xs> converts between some input and output formats (one of them is
JSON).
The default input format is C<json> and the default output format is
C<json-pretty>.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item -v
Be slightly more verbose.
=item -f fromformat
Read a file in the given format from STDIN.
C<fromformat> can be one of:
=over 4
=item json - a json text encoded, either utf-8, utf16-be/le, utf32-be/le
=item storable - a Storable frozen value
=item storable-file - a Storable file (Storable has two incompatible formats)
=item bencode - use Convert::Bencode, if available (used by torrent files, among others)
=item clzf - Compress::LZF format (requires that module to be installed)
=item eval - evaluate the given code as (non-utf-8) Perl, basically the reverse of "-t dump"
=item yaml - YAML (avoid at all costs, requires the YAML module :)
=item string - do not attempt to decode te file data
=item none - nothing is read, creates an C<undef> scalar - mainly useful with C<-e>
=back
=item -t toformat
Write the file in the given format to STDOUT.
C<toformat> can be one of:
=over 4
=item json, json-utf-8 - json, utf-8 encoded
=item json-pretty - as above, but pretty-printed
=item json-utf-16le, json-utf-16be - little endian/big endian utf-16
=item json-utf-32le, json-utf-32be - little endian/big endian utf-32
=item storable - a Storable frozen value in network format
=item storable-file - a Storable file in network format (Storable has two incompatible formats)
=item bencode - use Convert::Bencode, if available (used by torrent files, among others)
=item clzf - Compress::LZF format
=item yaml - YAML
=item dump - Data::Dump
=item dumper - Data::Dumper
=item string - writes the data out as if it were a string
=item none - nothing gets written, mainly useful together with C<-e>
Note that Data::Dumper doesn't handle self-referential data structures
correctly - use "dump" instead.
=back
=item -e code
Evaluate perl code after reading the data and before writing it out again
- can be used to filter, create or extract data. The data that has been
written is in C<$_>, and whatever is in there is written out afterwards.
=back
=head1 EXAMPLES
json_xs -t none <isitreally.json
"JSON Lint" - tries to parse the file F<isitreally.json> as JSON - if it
is valid JSON, the command outputs nothing, otherwise it will print an
error message and exit with non-zero exit status.
<src.json json_xs >pretty.json
Prettify the JSON file F<src.json> to F<dst.json>.
json_xs -f storable-file <file
Read the serialised Storable file F<file> and print a human-readable JSON
version of it to STDOUT.
json_xs -f storable-file -t yaml <file
Same as above, but write YAML instead (not using JSON at all :)
json_xs -f none -e '$_ = [1, 2, 3]'
Dump the perl array as UTF-8 encoded JSON text.
<torrentfile json_xs -f bencode -e '$_ = join "\n", map @$_, @{$_->{"announce-list"}}' -t string
Print the tracker list inside a torrent file.
lwp-request http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/JSON-XS.json | json_xs
Fetch the cpan-testers result summary C<JSON::XS> and pretty-print it.
