json5format

json5format is a general purpose Rust library that formats JSON5 (a.k.a., "JSON for Humans"), preserving contextual line and block comments.

json5format Rust library

The json5format library includes APIs to customize the document format, with style options configurable both globally (affecting the entire document) as well as tailoring specific subsets of a target JSON5 schema. (See the Rust package documentation for more details and examples.) As of version 0.2.0, public APIs allow limited support for accessing the information inside a parsed document, and for injecting or modifying comments.

formatjson5 command line tool

The json5format package also bundles an example command line tool, formatjson5, that formats JSON5 documents using a basic style with some customizations available through command line options:

$ cargo build --example formatjson5
$ ./target/debug/examples/formatjson5 --help
