# Extremely fast JSON formatter
|
|
|
|
`jsonformat` is an extremely fast JSON formatter.
|
|
|
|
It formats over 60MB of nested JSON in under 0.4s.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
Currently, you have to build and install it yourself.
|
|
`cargo build --release`
|
|
The executable can then be found in `target/release/jsonformat`
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
```
|
|
USAGE:
|
|
jsonformat [OPTIONS] [input]
|
|
|
|
ARGS:
|
|
<input> The input file to format
|
|
|
|
FLAGS:
|
|
-h, --help Prints help information
|
|
-V, --version Prints version information
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS:
|
|
-i, --indent <indentation> Set the indentation used (\s for space, \t for tab)
|
|
-o, --output <output> The output file for the formatted json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How?
|
|
`jsonformat` does not actually parse the json, it just loops through each characters and keeps track of some flags. It then copies these characters to the output buffer, adding and removing whitespace.
|
|

|
The code is currently a bit chaotic, but it works and is fast, so good enough for now. Maybe it could profit from SIMD in the future, but I have never used it and I don't know whether it would work. Maybe some day... |
