Back to search · Project homepage

Description

jo creates a JSON string on stdout from words given it as arguments or read from stdin. Without option -a it generates an object whereby each word is a key=value (or key@value) pair with key being the JSON object element and value its value. jo attempts to guess the type of value in order to create number (using strtod(3)), string, or null values in JSON.
