PrivyJSON

Overview

PrivyJSON is an offline-first JSON/YAML understanding and operations toolkit. It includes a Swift Package (library + CLI) and a SwiftUI workbench app for seamless JSON and YAML manipulation natively on your macOS and iOS devices.

Features

• Parse & Convert — Seamless JSON ↔ YAML conversion
• JSONPath Support — Powerful recursive descent selector queries
• JSON Patch — RFC6902 support for modifying documents
• JSON Schema — Generate schemas from data and run fully offline validation
• Structural Diff — Lightweight path-based differences
• Batch Operations — Apply patches to multiple documents via CLI

Command-Line Interface

PrivyJSON ships as a first-class command-line tool in the Swift package, and is also embedded directly in the macOS app bundle at Contents/Resources/bin/privyjson. It brings your data operations directly to the terminal:

• Core Workflows — Run parse, convert, select, diff, patch, and validate from your terminal.
• Schema Generation — Use infer-schema to generate JSON Schema directly from JSON or YAML inputs.
• Batch Patching — Use batchpatch to preview and apply one patch across multiple files simultaneously.

Examples
