NAME
jose-fmt - Converts JSON between serialization formats
SYNOPSIS
jose fmt OPTIONS
OVERVIEW
This jose fmt command provides a mechanism for building and parsing
JSON objects from the command line. It operates as a simple stack
machine. All commands operate on the TOP item of the stack and,
occasionally, the PREV item of the stack. Commands that require a
specific type of value will indicate it in parentheses. For example:
"TOP (arr.)".
This program returns 0 on success or the index of the option which
failed.

EXAMPLES
Extract the alg parameter from a JWE Protected Header:
$ jose fmt -j "$jwe" -Og protected -yOg alg -Su-
A128KW
List all JWKs in a JWKSet (one per line):
$ echo "$jwkset" | jose fmt -j- -Og keys -Af-
{"kty":"oct",...}
{"kty":"EC",...}
Change the algorithm in a JWK:
$ echo "$jwk" | jose fmt -j- -j '"A128GCM"' -s alg -Uo-
{"kty":"oct","alg":"A128GCM",...}
Build a JWE template:
$ jose fmt -j '{}' -cs unprotected -q A128KW -s alg -UUo-
{"unprotected":{"alg":"A128KW"}}
