## Install and use



    npm install -g json-package



Installs shortcuts "jso" and "j"



Then use `jso ` to show any property from `package.json`



Example: show version



    jso v

    j v



If there are multiple properties starting with the same prefix, the `jso` will show choices



## Show in action

## Differences from `npm view  [property]`



There is a command [npm view](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/view) that can do the same -

and more. I prefer using `json-package` for these reasons



* `json-package` only does the local lookup, thus faster and less typing

* `json-package` matches property by prefix, again less typing
