If no options are passed, it will update the `manifest.json` file's key `version` to the value of `GITHUB_REF_NAME`.
For multiple `keys` and `values` use new lines with a yaml `|`.
```yaml
- name: 'Update JSON'
uses: cssnr/update-json-value-action@v1
```
## Outputs
| Output | Output Description |
| :----- | :---------------------- |
| result | Updated JSON String |
```yaml
- name: 'Update JSON'
id: json
uses: cssnr/update-json-value-action@v1
- name: 'Echo Result'
run: echo '${{ steps.json.outputs.result }}'
```

You can view the release notes for each version on the [releases](https://github.com/cssnr/update-json-value-action/releases) page.
