# ssz-cli This command line tool is light wrapper around Parity's [SSZ library](https://crates.io/crates/ssz) which deserializes `JSON` using [ssz-json](https://github.com/c-o-l-o-r/ssz-json) and encode it in SSZ. This works especially well for prototyping Ethereum 2.0 execution environments in [Scout](https://github.com/ewasm/scout). ## Usage Pass a [properly formatted](https://github.com/c-o-l-o-r/ssz-json#format) `JSON` file to the cli and let it convert it to its ssz equivalent. ``` USAGE: ssz [FLAGS] FLAGS: -b display result in a byte array -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information ``` ## Maintainer * [@matt_garnett](https://twitter.com/matt_garnett) ## License Apache 2.0
