Command-Line Utility

Running the following will install a smooshify utility that takes JSON in and re-stringifies it:

npm install -g @smallllama/json-smooshify

To read JSON from stdin and re-stringify it to stdout, run smooshify with no parameters:

cat foo.js | smooshify 
smooshify < foo.js

To read JSON from one or more files, concatenating each re-stringified result to stdout:

smooshify package.json package-lock.json
