About:
Sbjson is a command-line interface tool that parses and reformats JSON data. It leverages the high-performance SBJson v5 parser library to validate, pretty-print, or minify JSON structures. This utility is essential for developers needing to quickly inspect or standardize JSON payloads in terminal workflows.
Key Features:
  • High-performance parsing based on SBJson v5
  • Pretty-print and minify JSON output
  • Standard input/output stream support
  • JSON validation and error reporting
Use Cases:
  • Validating JSON syntax in CI/CD pipelines
  • Formatting API responses for readability
  • Minifying JSON for production deployment
Alternatives:
  • jq – jq is a more powerful tool for advanced querying and manipulation, whereas sbjson focuses on parsing and reformatting.
  • python -m json.tool – Built-in Python module offers similar formatting but requires a Python runtime environment.
