# jsoncat

> `cat`, but for JSON

## Usage

    $ jsoncat foo.json bar.json > baz.json

### Merging

By default `jsoncat` will wrap the input files in an array:

    $ cat paul.json

    {"name": "paul"}

    $ cat kat.json

    {"name": "katherine"}

    $ jsoncat paul.json kat.json

    [{"name":"paul"},{"name":"katherine"}]

In case you have root objects that you want to merge you can pass the `--merge` option.

    $ cat movies.json

    ["Shawshank Redemption", "Primer"]

    $ cat music.json

    ["The Wall", "A Violent Emotion"]

    $ jsoncat movies.json music.json

    [["Shawshank Redemption","Primer"],["The Wall","A Violent Emotion"]]

    $ jsoncat --merge movies.json music.json

    ["Shawshank Redemption","Primer","The Wall","A Violent Emotion"]

The command will fail on incompatible types:

    $ jsoncat --merge object.json array.json

		Cannot merge incompatible types: Object, Array

    $ echo $?

## Install

**Option 1:** Set up [a proper `$GOPATH`][gopath] and then run `go install github.com/Mange/jsoncat`.

## Missing stuff

* `STDIN` is ignored

* Needs to support the "-" argument (for `STDIN`)
