jkitYour clipboard's JSON Swiss Army knife.

A small, fast JSON CLI for the things you actually do every day — pretty-print, fold, extract, and build.

📋 Clipboard-aware

Reads JSON from a pipe, a redirected file, or — when stdin is empty — directly from your system clipboard. Copy a blob, run jkit f, done.

Uses json.Number under the hood, so 64-bit integers like 9223372036854775807 survive round-trip without becoming a sloppy float.

format pretty-prints, cut folds deep nodes into summaries, get plucks a value by dotted path, maker turns lines into a JSON array.

One Go binary, no runtime dependencies. Install with go install and you are done.

Object keys are emitted in lexicographic order so the same input always produces the same output. Diffing two payloads stays clean.

String leaves print without quotes, errors carry the exact path that failed, and the binary exits 1 on errors so scripts can react.

Tired of pasting JSON into online formatters? jkit lives in your terminal.
