  "github_readme_excerpt": "# jo\n\n![jo logo](tests/jo-logo.png)\n\nThis is `jo`, a small utility to create JSON objects\n\n```bash\n$ jo -p name=jo n=17 parser=false\n{\n    \"name\": \"jo\",\n    \"n\": 17,\n    \"parser\": false\n}\n```\n\nor arrays\n\n```bash\n$ seq 1 10 | jo -a\n[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]\n```\n\nIt has a [manual](jo.md), and you can read [why I wrote jo](http://jpmens.net/2016/03/05/a-shell-command-to-create-json-jo/).\n\n## Build from Release tarball\n\nTo build from [a release](https://github.com/jpmens/jo/releases) you will need a C compiler to install from a source tarball which you download from the [Releases page](https://github.com/jpmens/jo/releases).\n\n```bash\ntar xvzf jo-1.3.tar.gz\ncd jo-1.3\nautoreconf -i\n./configure\nmake check\nmake install\n```\n\n\n## Build from Github\n\n[![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.com/jpmens/jo.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/github/jpmens/jo)\n\nTo install from the repository, you will need a C compiler as well as a relatively recent version of _automake_ and _autoconf_.\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/jpmens/jo.git\ncd jo\nautoreconf -i\n./configure\nmake check\nmake install\n```\n\n## Install\n\n### Homebrew\n\n```bash\nbrew install jo\n```\n\n### MacPorts\n\n```bash\nsudo port install jo\n```\n\n### Ubuntu\n\n```\napt-get install jo\n```\n\n### Gentoo\n\n```\nemerge jo\n```\n\n### Fedora\n\n```\ndnf install jo\n```\n\n### Snap\n\nThanks to [Roger Light](https://twitter.com/ralight/status/1166023769623867398), _jo_ is available as a [snap package](https://snapcraft.io/jo). Use `snap install jo` from a Linux distro that supports snaps.\n\n### Windows\n```cmd\nscoop install jo\n```\n\n### Windows WSL2\n\nAs shown in [#175](https://github.com/jpmens/jo/issues/175) when using _git_ on Windows WSL2 it should be necessary to disable automatic CRLF conversion in _git_ or the tests will fail:\n\n```cmd\ngit config --local core.autocrlf false\n```\n\n### AIX\n\n_jo_ builds and passes all tests on AIX 7.1 using the _autoconf_, _automake_, _gcc_, and _pkg-config_ RPMs from IBM\u0027s [AIX Toolbox for Open Source Software](https:/",
