NAME

       jose-fmt - Converts JSON between serialization formats

SYNOPSIS

       jose fmt [OPTIONS]

OVERVIEW

       This jose fmt command provides a mechanism for building and parsing JSON objects from the command line.
       It operates as a simple stack machine. All commands operate on the TOP item of the stack and,
       occasionally, the PREV item of the stack. Commands that require a specific type of value will indicate it
       in parentheses. For example: "TOP (arr.)".

       This program returns 0 on success or the index of the option which failed.

       •   -Q, --query : Query the stack by deep copying and pushing onto TOP

       •   -R, --real : Assert TOP to be a real

       •   -s NAME, --set=NAME : Sets TOP into PREV (obj.) with NAME

       •   -s , --set= : Sets TOP into PREV (obj.) at #

       •   -s -, --set=- : Sets TOP into PREV (obj.) at # from the end

       •   -S, --string : Assert TOP to be a string

       •   -t , --truncate= : Shrink TOP (arr.) to length #

       •   -t -, --truncate=- : Discard last # items from TOP (arr.)

       •   -T, --true : Assert TOP to be true

       •   -u FILE, --unquote=FILE : Write TOP (str.) to FILE without quotes

       •   -u -, --unquote=- : Write TOP (str.) to STDOUT without quotes

       •   -U, --unwind : Discard TOP from the stack

       •   -x, --extend : Append items from TOP to the end of PREV (arr.)

       •   -x, --extend : Set all values from TOP (obj.) into PREV (obj.)

       •   -X, --not : Invert the following assertion

       •   -y, --b64load : URL-safe Base64 decode TOP (str.), push onto TOP

       •   -Y, --b64dump : URL-safe Base64 encode TOP, push onto TOP

EXAMPLES

       Extract the alg parameter from a JWE Protected Header:

           $ jose fmt -j "$jwe" -Og protected -yOg alg -Su-
           A128KW

       List all JWKs in a JWKSet (one per line):

           $ echo "$jwkset" | jose fmt -j- -Og keys -Af-
           {"kty":"oct",...}
           {"kty":"EC",...}

       Change the algorithm in a JWK:

           $ echo "$jwk" | jose fmt -j- -j '"A128GCM"' -s alg -Uo-
           {"kty":"oct","alg":"A128GCM",...}

       Build a JWE template:

           $ jose fmt -j '{}' -cs unprotected -q A128KW -s alg -UUo-
           {"unprotected":{"alg":"A128KW"}}
