FracturedJson

Lovely little alias, but I much prefer fracjson[0] pretty printing to jq, so I might go with that instead! [0]: https://github.com/j-brooke/FracturedJson

I created a show and tell post in the FracturedJson Github discussion area, "Ports, Wrappers, Plugins, and Tools". If you've made a port or want to see if it's available for some platform, come check it out. https://github.com/j-brooke/FracturedJson/discussions/52

It looks like there are two maintained implementations of this at the moment - one in C# https://github.com/j-brooke/FracturedJson/wiki/.NET-Library and another in TypeScript/JavaScript https://github.com/j-brooke/FracturedJsonJs. They each have their own test suite. There's an older pure Python version but it's no longer maintained - the author of that recently replaced it with a Python library wrapping the C# code. This looks to me like the perfect opportunity for a language-independent conformance suite - a set of tests defined as data files that can be shared across multiple implementations. This would not only guarantee that the existing C# and TypeScript implementations behaved exactly the same way, but would also make it much easier to build and then maintain more implementations across other languages. Interestingly the now-depre

There's a C# CLI app in the repo: https://github.com/j-brooke/FracturedJson/blob/main/Fracture... Output is to standard out, or a file specified by the --outfile switch. Input is from either standard in, or from a file if using the --file switch It looks like both the JavaScript version and the new Python C# wrapper have equivalent CLI tools as well.
