Also, if you want to use the same command (e.g. use same JSON inputs), you can use `--file` (`-f`) option.  \n\n## Table of Contents\n- [Installation](#installation)\n   - [From GitHub Releases](#from-github-releases)\n   - [macOS](#macos)\n   - [Docker image](#docker-image)\n   - [[Not-recommended] go install](#not-recommended-go-install)\n- [Usage (REPL)](#usage-repl)\n   - [Basic usage](#basic-usage)\n   - [Repeated field",
