Database to JSON object conversion tool with support for PHP serialization.
This command line tool will export the specified database to a "pretty print" JSON object. Auto-detection of PHP serialized strings will also be converted to a JSON object. This tool allows for simple line-by-line representation of a MySQL database and is perfect for viewing content in text based comparison tools. Re-import can be performed using the companion tool, json2mysql.
