=head1 NAME

json_xs - JSON::XS commandline utility

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   json_xs [-v] [-f inputformat] [-t outputformat]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

F<json_xs> converts between some input and output formats (one of them is
JSON).

The default input format is C<json> and the default output format is
C<json-pretty>.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item -v

Be slightly more verbose.

=item -f fromformat

Read a file in the given format from STDIN.

C<fromformat> can be one of:

=over 4

=item json - a json text encoded, either utf-8, utf16-be/le, utf32-be/le

=item storable - a Storable frozen value

=item storable-file - a Storable file (Storable has two incompatible formats)

=item clzf - Compress::LZF format (requires that module to be installed)

=item yaml - YAML (avoid at all costs, requires the YAML module :)

=back

=item -t toformat

Write the file in the given format to STDOUT.

C<fromformat> can be one of:

=over 4

=item json, json-utf-8 - json, utf-8 encoded

=item json-pretty - as above, but pretty-printed

=item json-utf-16le, json-utf-16be - little endian/big endian utf-16

=item json-utf-32le, json-utf-32be - little endian/big endian utf-32

=item storable - a Storable frozen value in network format

=item storable-file - a Storable file in network format (Storable has two incompatible formats)

=item clzf - Compress::LZF format

=item yaml - YAML

=back

=head1 EXAMPLES

   json_xs -t null <isitreally.json

"JSON Lint" - tries to parse the file F<isitreally.json> as JSON - if it
is valid JSON, the command outputs nothing, otherwise it will print an
error message and exit with non-zero exit status.

   <src.json json_xs >pretty.json

Prettify the JSON file F<src.json> to F<dst.json>.

   json_xs -f storable-file <file

Read the serialised Storable file F<file> and print a human-readable JSON
version of it to STDOUT.

   json_xs -f storable-file -t yaml <file

Same as above, but write YAML instead (not using JSON at all :)

   lwp-request http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/JSON-XS.json | json_xs

Fetch the cpan-testers result summary C<JSON::XS> and pretty-print it.
