JSON Lint
=========
A pure JavaScript version of the service provided at jsonlint.com.
Command line interface
Install jsonlint with npm to use the command line interface:
npm install jsonlint -g
Validate a file like so:
jsonlint myfile.json
or pipe input into stdin:
cat myfile.json | jsonlint
jsonlint will either report a syntax error with details or pretty print the source if it is valid.
$3
$ jsonlint -h
Usage: jsonlint [file] [options]
file file to parse; otherwise uses stdin
Options:
-v, --version print version and exit
-s, --sort-keys sort object keys
-i, --in-place overwrite the file
-t CHAR, --indent CHAR character(s) to use for indentation [ ]
-c, --compact compact error display
-V, --validate a JSON schema to use for validation
-e, --environment which specification of JSON Schema the validation file uses [json-schema-draft-03]
-q, --quiet do not print the parsed json to STDOUT [false]
-p, --pretty-print force pretty printing even if invalid
Module interface
I'm not sure why you wouldn't use the built in
JSON.parse but you can use jsonlint from a CommonJS module:
var jsonlint = require("jsonlint");
jsonlint.parse('{"creative?": false}');
It returns the parsed object or throws an
Error.
