# jsonify

Some reasons why you might be interested:

* Quickly produce JSON output based on command line arguments

* Simple syntax to interpret values as strings or arbitrary JSON values

* Supports reading file contents for easy escaping

## Installation

* Downloads are available from the [Releases](https://github.com/fgeller/jsonify/releases) section.

* `go get github.com/fgeller/jsonify && go install github.com/fgeller/jsonify`

* Via homebrew on OSX: `brew tap fgeller/tap && brew install jsonify`

## Usage

    jsonify [[-|=]name value]...

Converts arguments into JSON output.

## Details

* `-name` causes the value to be interpreted as a string.

* `=name` causes the value to be interpreted as a JSON value.

* If the value is a valid file path, it's contents are used as the value.

## Examples

    $ # basic value types, ie - vs =

    $ jsonify -name hans =age 23 =subscribed true =address null | jq

    {

      "address": null,

      "age": 23,

      "name": "hans",

      "subscribed": true

    }

    $ # nested objects via command substitution

    $ jsonify =a `jsonify -name hans` =b `jsonify -name peter` | tee outfile | jq

    {

      "a": {

        "name": "hans"

      },

      "b": {

        "name": "peter"

      }

    }

    $ # subshell output as a value to get current date

    $ # reading contents of "outfile" from previous invocation

    $ jsonify -date "$(date)" =content outfile | jq

    {

      "content": {

        "a": {

          "name": "hans"

        },

        "b": {

          "name": "peter"

        }

      },

      "date": "Thu Mar 17 19:10:04 NZDT 2016"

    }
