This is the default option. =item * C<--no-escape-unicode> : it will NOT escape unicode characters. Output will not contain "\u0386" or "\x{386}" but "α" (that's a greek alpha). This is the default option. =item * C<--pretty> / C<--no-pretty> : write this JSON pretty, line breaks, indendations, "the full catastrophe". The second is the default. =back Input can be read from an input file (--i), from a string at the command line (--I) (properly quoted!), from STDIN (which also includes a file redirection C<< json2json.pl < inputfile.json > outputfile.json >> For more information see L. =head1 CAVEATS Under Unix/Linux, the maximum number of characters that can be read on a terminal is 4096. So, in reading-from-STDIN mode beware how much you type or how much you copy-paste onto the script. If it complains about malformed input then this is the case. The workaround is to type/paste onto a file and operate on that using C<< --i afile >> or redirection C<< < afile >>. =head1 AUTHOR Andreas Hadjiprocopis, C<< / >> =cut
