A command line tool to merge different json files together into a single output.
This tool is build around mergejson library and uses the default rules defined there. If custom / additional rules are required, please refer to the library.
- Allows multiple glob patterns to target as many json files as desired
- Eats anything that is halfway JSON-like: no problem with comments, dangling commas or missing quotes (unless --strict is given)
- option to pretty print the resulting json
