## Synopsis

`json-glib-format` [`-h`, `--help`] [`--prettify`] [`--indent-spaces` `SPACES`] URI [ URI... ]

## Description

json-glib-format offers a simple command line interface to format JSON data. It reads a list or URIs, applies the spacified formatting rules on the JSON data, and outputs the formatted JSON to the standard output.

The resources to operate on are specified by the `URI` argument.

## Commands

`-h`, `--help` | Prints help and exits.
`-p`, `--prettify` | Prettifies the output, by adding spaces and indentation. This argument is useful to improve the readability of JSON data, at the expense of its size.
`--indent-spaces` `SPACES` | Changes the number of spaces using to indent the JSON data from the default of 2. This argument is only considered if `--prettify` is used.
