This is a command line utility to put JSON into a canonical form.
WARNING: Currently this just deserializes and researializes the JSON with serde_json, which sorts the keys in objects. It should probably be using something more intentionally canonical.
Usage:
$ echo '{ "zoology": "bar", "ambergris": "foo" }' | canon
{"ambergris":"foo","zoology":"bar"}
Installation:
You're going to need to have cargo and the other rust stuff installed. Then do:
cargo install canon
