DESCRIPTION

This script formats data structure using Data::Format::Pretty. You can use it to quickly visualize a data structure on a console. See documentation of Data::Format::Pretty for more details.

It accepts input as JSON, or several other alternative formats (see the -i option). It by default outputs the data using the Console formatter module (Data::Format::Pretty::Console), but you can use the other modules.

EXIT CODES

0 on success.

99 on command-line options error.

OPTIONS

  • --input=STR, -i

    Pick input format. Available formats: json (parsed using JSON), yaml (parsed using YAML::Syck), perl. Default is json.

  • --output=STR, -o

    Pick output format. Available formats: json, yaml, perl, or any of the available Data::Format::Pretty::* (for example, specifying Ruby will use the Data::Format::Pretty::Ruby formatter module).
