+# jsontools
+
+Handy command line tools for dealing with json data.
+
+To use it, add `jsontools` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
+
+```zsh
+plugins=(... jsontools)
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Usage is simple... just take your json data and pipe it into the appropriate jsontool:
+
+- `pp_json`: pretty prints json.
+- `is_json`: returns true if valid json; false otherwise.
+- `urlencode_json`: returns a url encoded string for the given json.
+- `urldecode_json`: returns decoded json for the given url encoded string.
+
+### Supports NDJSON (Newline Delimited JSON)
+
+The plugin also supports [NDJSON](http://ndjson.org/) input, which means all functions
+have an alternative function that reads and processes the input line by line. These
+functions have the same name except using `ndjson` instead of `json`:
+
+> `pp_ndjson`, `is_ndjson`, `urlencode_ndjson`, `urldecode_ndjson`.
+
+### Examples
+
+- **pp_json**:
+
+```console
+# curl json data and pretty print the results
+curl https://coderwall.com/bobwilliams.json | pp_json
+```
+
+- **is_json**:
+
+```console
+# validate if file's content conforms to a valid JSON schema
+$ is_json < data.json
+true
+# shows true / false and returns the proper exit code
+$ echo $?
+0
+```
+
+- **urlencode_json**:
+
+```console
+# json data directly from the command line
+$ echo '{"b":2, "a":1}' | urlencode_json
+%7B%22b%22:2,%20%22a%22:1%7D
+```
+
+- **urldecode_json**:
+
+```console
+# url encoded string to decode
+$ echo '%7B%22b%22:2,%20%22a%22:1%7D' | urldecode_json
+{"b":2, "a":1}
+```
+
+- **pp_ndjson**:
+
+```console
+# echo two separate json objects and pretty print both
+$ echo '{"a": "b"}\n{"c": [1,2,3]}' | pp_ndjson
+{
+ "a": "b"
+}
+{
+ "c": [
+ 1,
+ 2,
+ 3
+ ]
+}
+```
