This package extends the json-to-jsonl package to provide an easy-to-use CLI for its functionality.

npm install -g github:ThatOneBro/json-to-jsonl-cli.git

To convert to JSONL from JSON, just use the json2jsonl command from the terminal and target a valid JSON file containing an array of objects. The command uses a relative path from the current directory, as so:

json2jsonl ../path/from/cwd/to/file

or

json2jsonl file

if the file is in the current directory.

The output file will be created with the same filename in the same directory as the specified JSON file, just with the .jsonl file extension.

For example,

json2jsonl bla/bla.json

will create a JSONL file from the specified JSON file called bla.jsonl in the bla directory, where bla.json is located.

If you would like to overwrite an existing JSONL file created from one of your JSON files, just add the w+ indicator as an argument, like so:

json2jsonl bla.json w+

This will force the conversion at bla.jsonl even if the file already exists.
