  • Jo – a shell command to create JSON

    We did look at `jo`, and also `jarg`[0], the W3C HTML JSON form syntax[1], and pretty much every other approach we could find. We had quite a few requirements that the syntax had to meet: be simple/flexible, easy to read/write, backward/forward compatible, and play well with the rest of the HTTPie request language.

    The final syntax is heavily inspired by the HTML JSON forms one. But we made it stricter, added type safety, and some other features. It supports all the existing functionality like embedding raw JSON strings and JSON/text files by paths.

    The final implementation[2] is completely custom. We’ve plans to ship it as a standalone tool as well, publish the test suite in a language-independent format and write a formal spec so that other tools can easily adopt it. This spec will eventually be a subset of one for the overall HTTPie request language, which is currently tied to our CLI implementation but we want to decouple it.

    Happy to hear you like the desktop app!
