This is jo, a small utility to create JSON objects
$ jo -p name=jo n=17 parser=false
{
"name": "jo",
"n": 17,
"parser": false
}or arrays
$ seq 1 10 | jo -a
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]It has a manual, and you can read why I wrote jo.
To build from a release you will need a C compiler to install from a source tarball which you download from the Releases page.
tar xvzf jo-1.0.tar.gz
cd jo-1.0
./configure
make check
make install
To install from the repository, you will need a C compiler as well as a relatively recent version of automake and autoconf.
git clone git://github.com/jpmens/jo.git
cd jo
autoreconf -i
./configure
make check
make installbrew install joapt-get install jo
emerge jo
Thanks to Roger Light, jo is available as a snap package. Use snap install jo from a Linux distro that supports snaps.
