Python script to randomize static JSON
This script must be run with Python3
python3 randomize.py {path_to_json_file} {number between 0-1} {optional output file}
If you are running a version of python greater than 3.0 you can just use python instead of python3
The second parameter is the percentage of leaves (primitive json nodes) that should be randomized. "0.5" will result in half of all leaves being randomized.
If the third parameter is omitted the script will overwrite the source json file with the modified version
The file passed in will be overwritten with changes if no third parameter is passed in. If an outputfile is specified as the third parameter the source file will be left in tact and the modified file will be written to the specified file
The script will produce a {outputfile}.paths.txt file that catalogues all changes made to the .json file
- Configuration file to specify specific fields to change or exclude
- Ability to pass in multiple files at once
