Installs the CLI globally, creates a sample JSON file, and formats it, showing stdout output and in-place modification pattern.

npm install -g format-json-cli echo '{"name":"test"}' > file.json format-json-cli file.json # outputs formatted JSON to stdout # To modify file in-place (requires redirection) format-json-cli file.json > file.json.new && mv file.json.new file.json

format-json --version

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe tool outputs formatted JSON to stdout by default; does NOT modify the file in-place without shell redirection.
