json5: Validate a JSON5 file.
$ json5 ${path-to-input_file-json5} --validate
try on your machine
This command is using a tool called "json5" to validate a JSON5 file. Here's the breakdown of the command:
json5
: This is the executable or command to run the "json5" tool.${path-to-input_file-json5}
: This is a placeholder that represents the path to the input file that you want to validate. You need to replace${path-to-input_file-json5}
with the actual path to the JSON5 file you want to validate. For example, if the file is located at/path/to/file.json5
, you would replace${path-to-input_file-json5}
with/path/to/file.json5
.--validate
: This is an argument or option that tells the "json5" tool to perform validation on the input JSON5 file. It instructs the tool to check if the JSON5 file is well-formed according to the JSON5 syntax rules. If the file is valid, it may return no output or a success message. If the file is not valid, it may display error messages or notifications indicating the issues found.
So, when you run this command with the actual path to your JSON5 file, it will invoke the "json5" tool and check the validity of the specified JSON5 file.
