JSON Output

JSON Output

If you'd like to feed TooLoo information into other tools that speak JSON external link icon you can retrieve the full list, and details of a specific command.

There are two commands to facilitate JSON on the command line.

  • show-json <command_name> Generates JSON with the details of the command. Contains the same information you'd see from the show command but in JSON format.

    {
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "status": 200,
  "command": {
     "name": "foo",
     "type": "executable"
     ...
  }
}

  • list-json Generates JSON with the name and short description of each command.

    {
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "status": 200,
  "commands": [
      {
      "name": "foo",
      "type": "executable"
      ...
      },
      {
      "name": "bar",
      "type": "executable"
      ...
      }
  ]
}

TooLoo also has a built-in REST API Server you can use to retrieve the same data over HTTP.
