# JSON Toolkit

A zero-dependency Python utility for working with JSON data. Validates, formats, minifies, queries, and inspects JSON files — all with Python's standard library.

Features

Usage Examples

Pretty-print a JSON file:

python main.py data.json

Validate without output:

python main.py config.json --validate
# ✓ Valid JSON
#   Type: object (12 keys)
#   Size: 4832 bytes

Query a nested value:

python main.py users.json --query data.users.0.name
# "Alice"

Minify for production:

python main.py config.json --minify -o config.min.json

Sort keys for consistent diffs:

python main.py package.json --sort-keys -o package-sorted.json

Pipe from curl:

curl -s https://api.example.com/data | python main.py - --query results.0

Query Syntax
