General options

• -inpfile process file containing JSON doc(s) based on other options.
• -inptxt process input text based on their options.
• -mprof take memory profile for testdata/code.json.gz.
• -outfile write output to file.
• -overheads compute overheads on CBOR and collation encoding.
• -quote use strconv.Unquote on inptxt/inpfile.
• -repeat repeat count.
• -nk can be smart, treat number as int64 or fall back to float64, or, float, treat number only as float64 (default "float").
• -ws can be ansi white space, or, unicode white space, default "ANSI".

To include n1ql, compile it with -tags n1ql.

Convert from JSON

• -json2cbor convert inptxt or content in inpfile to CBOR output.
• -json2collate convert inptxt or content in inpfile to collated output.
• -json2value convert inptxt or content in inpfile to golang value.

options for JSON

• -pointers list of json-pointers for doc specified by input-file.

Convert from CBOR

• -cbor2collate convert inptxt or content in inpfile to collated output.
• -cbor2json convert inptxt or content in inpfile to JSON output.
• -cbor2value convert inptxt or content in inpfile to golang value.

options for CBOR

• -ct container encoding for CBOR, allowed stream (default), or, lenprefix.

Convert from Collate

• -collate2cbor convert inptxt or content in inpfile to CBOR output.
• -collate2json convert inptxt or content in inpfile to JSON output.
• -collate2value convert inptxt or content in inpfile to value.

options for collation

• -arrlenprefix set SortbyArrayLen for collation ordering.
• -maplenprefix SortbyPropertyLen for collation ordering (default true)
• -domissing consider missing type while collation (default true).
• -collatesort sort inpfile, with one or more JSON terms, using collation algorithm.
• -n1qlsort sort inpfile, with one or more JSON terms, using collation algorithm.
• -checkdir test files for collation order in specified directory. For every input file <checkdir>/filename, there should be reference file <checkdir>/filename.ref.

Convert from value

• -value2cbor convert inptxt JSON to value and then to CBOR.
• -value2json convert inptxt JSON to value and then back to JSON.
• -value2collate convert inptxt JSON to value and then back to binary.

Examples

Transformations

$ gson -inpfile example.json -json2value
Json: "hello world"
Valu: hello world

$ gson -inptxt '"hello world"' -json2value
Json: "hello world"
Valu: hello world

$ gson -inptxt '"hello world"' -json2cbor
Json: "hello world"
Cbor: [107 104 101 108 108 111 32 119 111 114 108 100]
Json: "hello world"

$ gson -inptxt '"hello world"' -json2collate
Json: "hello world"
Coll: "\x06hello world\x00\x00"
Coll: [6 104 101 108 108 111 32 119 111 114 108 100 0 0]

Similarly to transform from CBOR:

$ gson -inptxt "khello world" -cbor2value
$ gson -inptxt "khello world" -cbor2json
$ gson -inptxt "khello world" -cbor2collate

Specifying container type for transforming to CBOR:

$ go build -o gson; gson -inptxt "[10,20]" -ct lenprefix -json2cbor
Json: [10,20]
Cbor: [130 251 64 36 0 0 0 0 0 0 251 64 52 0 0 0 0 0 0]
Cbor: "\x82\xfb@$\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xfb@4\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"
Json: [10,20]
$ go build -o gson; gson -inptxt "[10,20]" -ct stream -json2cbor
Json: [10,20]
Cbor: [159 251 64 36 0 0 0 0 0 0 251 64 52 0 0 0 0 0 0 255]
Cbor: "\x9f\xfb@$\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xfb@4\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff"
Json: [10,20]

Similarly to transform from collate:

$ gson -inpfile example.coll -collate2value
$ gson -inpfile example.coll -collate2json
$ gson -inpfile example.coll -collate2cbor

Similarly to transform from value:

$ gson -inptxt '"hello world"' -value2json
$ gson -inptxt '"hello world"' -value2cbor
$ gson -inptxt '"hello world"' -value2collate

possible list of json-pointer from a given doc

$ gson -inpfile typical.json -pointers
