# JFormat

A command-line tool for formatting and prettifying JSON files with customizable sorting options.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install the package
pip install jformat

# Format a JSON file
echo '{"b":1,"a":2}' > input.json
jformat input.json
```

## Features

- Pretty print JSON with proper indentation
- Optional sorting of JSON keys
- Simple command-line interface
- Support for large JSON files
- Preserves JSON data types

## Installation

You can install JFormat using pip:

```bash
pip install jformat
```

For development installation:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/hwang2006/jformat.git
cd jformat
pip install -e .
```

## Usage

Basic usage:

```bash
# Format with default settings (sorted keys)
jformat input.json

# Format without sorting keys
jformat --no-sort input.json
```

### Options

- `--sort` / `--no-sort`: Enable or disable sorting of JSON keys (default: --sort)
- `FILE_PATH`: Path to the JSON file to format

### Examples

1. Format a JSON file with sorted keys:
```bash
jformat examples/input.json
```

Input:
```json
{"b": 1,"a": 2,"c": {"z": 3,"y": 4}}
```

Output:
```json
{
    "a": 2,
    "b": 1,
    "c": {
        "y": 4,
        "z": 3
    }
}
```

2. Format without sorting keys (preserves original order):
```bash
jformat --no-sort examples/input.json
```

## Development

# Install only the core/basic requirements, when you just want to work with the package functionality
pip install -e .

# Install development dependencies, when you plan to develop, test, or contribute to the package
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```
