b2j

What?

This converts bytes to json.

Why?

When using gomocks, or even accidentally printing out the bytes from json, I get tired of seeing things like this:

missing call(s) to *mocks.MockThing.DoSomething(is equal to [123 34 104 101 108 108 111 34 58 34 119 111 114 108 100 34 125] (json.RawMessage))

And not knowing what it is actually looking for.

How?

Just install and run:

b2j [123 34 104 101 108 108 111 34 58 34 119 111 114 108 100 34 125]

(works with or without brackets)

Output:

{
    "hello": "world"
}

Want it minified?

b2j -m [123 34 104 101 108 108 111 34 58 34 119 111 114 108 100 34 125]

Output:

{"hello":"world"}
