building

nodejs

no need! after cloning the repo, just run the compiler with

$ node main.js yourjsonfile.json

or if you're fancy, add this to your .bashrc or .zshrc or whatever: alias jsonc="node /path/to/main.js"

deno

you can either run it with

$ deno run -A main.js yourjsonfile.json

or compile it into an executable with

# the resulting executable should be named 'json-lang'
$ deno compile -A main.js

*anything that supports running node.js
