Then don’t, take json or some standard format with an off-the-shelf parser as stdin and write it as standard out. Then just use jq to munge data into json on one end and back out on the other.
- nomel 6y ago> with an off-the-shelf parser as stdin These only exist for well known tools. And, these usually explode if you're not careful about the characters in your filename.
- fiddlerwoaroof 6y agoThat’s not what I’m saying: your program expects to receive standard input in json format. And uses your favorite JSON parsing library to handle stdin. Generate stdout as JSON with the same library. Then, use jq to generate the standard input and output.
