NAME

       jsonlint - A JSON syntax validator and formatter tool

SYNOPSIS

       jsonlint [-v][-s|-S][-f|-F][-ecodec]inputfile.json...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the jsonlint commands.

OPTIONS

       The  return status will be 0 if the file is legal JSON, or non-zero otherwise.  Use -v to see the warning
       details.

       Options are: -v, -s, -S, -f, -F, -e

       -v, --verbose
              Show details of lint checking

       -s, --strict
              Be strict in what is considered legal JSON (the default)

       -S, --nonstrict
              Be loose in what is considered legal JSON

       -f, --format
              Reformat the JSON (if legal) to stdout

       -F, --format-compactly
              Reformat the JSON similar to -f, but do so compactly by removing all unnecessary whitespace

       -e codec, --encoding=codec

       --input-encoding=codec --output-encoding=codec
              Set the input and output character encoding codec (e.g., ascii, utf8, utf-16).  The  -e  will  set
              both  the  input  and  output encodings to the same thing.  If not supplied, the input encoding is
              guessed according to the JSON specification.  The output encoding defaults to UTF-8, and  is  used
              when reformatting (via the -f or -F options).

              When  reformatting, all members of objects (associative arrays) are always output in lexigraphical
              sort order.  The default output codec is UTF-8, unless the -e option  is  provided.   Any  Unicode
              characters  will  be  output as literal characters if the encoding permits, otherwise they will be
              -escaped.  You can use "-e ascii" to force all Unicode characters to be escaped.
