Jshn wiki page

[stokito]

I created a page with description of jshn

jshn: a JSON parsing and generation library in for shell scripts

I just gathered all the samples that I found so the article can be simplified and improved.
For example one example from this thread

How to use rpcd from remote system

Can you provide a more complete example of the not working script? The above should work, but with unexpected results. An echo '{ "cmd_result": "$return" }' will literally output { "cmd_result": "$return" } due to the single quote interpolation rules of Bash. You also need to be very careful with proper quoting and escaping when constructing JSON from external input. Best is to use jshn (JSON Shell Notation) which will take care of constructing proper responses: #!/bin/sh # source jshn shell…

Also if anyone can add more descriptions for the jshn utility that would be great because now they are just repeats themselves:
Options:

• -r <message> parse from string <message>
• -R <file> parse from file <file>
• -w write to stdout
• -o <file> write to file <file>
• -p <prefix> set prefix
• -n no newline
• -i indent
