analyse-json

CLI tool to analyse Newline Delimited (ND)JSON files and return useful metadata about the structure to help you understand the contents

``` USAGE: analyse-json [OPTIONS] [FILE_PATH]

ARGS: File to process, expected to contain a single JSON object or Newline Delimited (ND) JSON objects

OPTIONS: --explode-arrays Walk the elements of arrays treating arrays like a map of their enumerated elements? (E.g. $.path.to.array[0], $.path.to.array[1], ...) Ignored if using --inspect-arrays

-g, --glob <GLOB>
        Process all files identified by this glob pattern

    --generate-completions <SHELL>
        Output shell completions for the chosen shell to stdout [possible values: bash, elvish,
        fish, powershell, zsh]

-h, --help
        Print help information

    --inspect-arrays
        Walk the elements of arrays grouping elements paths together under `$.path.to.array[*]`?
        Takes precedence over `--explode-arrays`

    --jsonpath <JSONPATH>
        JSONpath query to filter/limit the inspection to e.g. `'$.a_key.an_array[0]'`

    --merge
        Include combined results for all files when using glob

-n, --lines <LINES>
        Limit inspection to the first n lines

    --parallel
        Use multi-threaded version of the processing

-q, --quiet
        Silence error logging

-V, --version
        Print version information

```
