JSONlite sandboxes the current working directory just like SQLite. The data directory is named jsonlite.data, and each json document is saved pretty printed as a uuid.

git clone https://github.com/nodesocket/jsonlite.git cd jsonlite ln -s $PWD/jsonlite.bash /usr/local/bin/jsonlite 

1. bash
2. uuidgen
3. python -m json.tool

• Alternatively, install yajl for json_reformat or jq to get a roughly 3x performance improvement setting documents.

You may optionally set the path to the data directory. It defaults to $PWD/jsonlite.data but can manually be set with the JSONLITE_PATH environment variable.

# default export JSONLITE_PATH=$PWD/jsonlite.data # manually set to /tmp/jsonlite.data export JSONLITE_PATH=/tmp/jsonlite.data 

set <json> - Writes a json document and returns the document id

➜ jsonlite set '{"name":"John Doe","active":true,"permissions":{"read":true,"write":false}}' 666B81D6-3F8A-4D57-BA3F-11FA8FC47246 

set also supports piping into it:

echo '{"key":"value"}' | jsonlite set 4472B861-4C10-4C0A-A63B-E5D45AA679C0 

cat foobar.json | jsonlite set 9DF4DC1F-121E-46DC-B580-E1663B645AED 

get <document-id> - Retrieves a json document by document id

➜ jsonlite get 666B81D6-3F8A-4D57-BA3F-11FA8FC47246 { "active": true, "name": "John Doe", "permissions": { "read": true, "write": false } }

delete <document-id> - Deletes a json document by document id

➜ jsonlite delete 666B81D6-3F8A-4D57-BA3F-11FA8FC47246 

drop (--force) - Drops the database

For transparency and insight into the release cycle, and for striving to maintain backward compatibility, JSONlite will be maintained under the semantic versioning guidelines.

Releases will be numbered with the follow format:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>

And constructed with the following guidelines:

• Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
• New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor (and resets the patch)
• Bug fixes and misc changes bumps the patch
