What problem does it solve?

JSON datasets and configs often require consistent formatting for readability and tooling. This Skill formats JSON files across nested directories, applying a configurable indentation and optional key sorting, saving results to an output folder.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Flexible formatting: apply indentation and optional key sorting to all JSON files under /input.
• Directory-preserving: preserves the original directory structure in /output for easy mapping back to source files.
• Use case: format a large set of JSON configuration files for a CI pipeline, generating consistently formatted configs for reviews.

Quick Start

Use the json-formatter tool to format JSON files located under /input and write results to /output. Example commands:

• enact run ./examples/tools/json-formatter --input ./data --output ./formatted
• enact run ./examples/tools/json-formatter --input ./data --output ./formatted --input indent=4
• enact run ./examples/tools/json-formatter --input ./data --output ./formatted --input sort_keys=true
• enact run ./examples/tools/json-formatter --input ./src --output ./src --apply
