The Cleison CLI program is a simple command-line tool designed for building JSON files explicitly, intended for educational purposes only. The name "Cleison" is a combination of "CLI" (Command-Line Interface) and JSON, emphasizing its focus on creating JSON data structures. This tool allows users to interactively input key-value pairs, which are then used to generate a JSON file.
To use the Cleison CLI program, follow these steps:
Run the program and choose option 1 to create a JSON file. Follow the prompts to input field names and values interactively. The program will continue to prompt for additional entries until you choose to stop. After entering the data, specify the desired file name (without the ".json" extension), and the program will generate the JSON file in the current directory.
