JSON Analyzer CLI

JSON Analyzer CLI is a command-line tool to analyze large JSON files efficiently. It provides commands for counting keys, filtering, querying, and handling other JSON data operations. This tool is particularly useful when dealing with massive JSON files that traditional tools struggle to handle.

Features

• Count the number of keys in a JSON file
• Filter JSON data based on specific criteria
• Query specific fields and values
• Efficiently handles large files by streaming JSON data
• Customizable and extensible command structure

Installation

Prerequisites

• Go 1.18 or later

Install

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/json-analyzer-cli.git
   cd json-analyzer-cli
   
   

2. Build the tool:

   go build -o json-analyzer-cli
   
   

3. (Optional) Move the executable to your $PATH:

   mv json-analyzer-cli /usr/local/bin/
   
   

Usage

Basic Command Structure

Run the tool by entering:

    json-analyzer-cli <command> [flags] <file>

Commands

Count Keys in JSON

Count the total number of keys in a JSON file. This is helpful for quickly understanding the structure or size of the JSON data.

Usage:

    json-analyzer-cli count yourfile.json

Example:

Given a JSON file sample.json:

    {
        "name": "Example",
        "details": {
            "age": 25,
            "location": "Unknown"
        }
    }

Running:

    json-analyzer-cli count sample.json

Outputs:

    Total keys: 2

Future Commands (Coming Soon)

• Filter: Filter JSON by keys or values.

• Query: Query specific JSON fields and extract matching data.
