Trying to write to a JSON file I got the response, "Error: Writing of JSON files is not yet supported"
Just putting in a request to be able to write to JSON files.
In the meantime, does anyone know of a way similar to ExifTool for writing to JSON files?
Thanks
Editing a JSON file is unlikely to be supported as there isn't a set of standard tag names. It would need to write free form TAG/VALUE pairs, which would probably require extensive re-writing of exiftool.
I've used jq (https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) to deal with JSON files, but never used it enough to get the hang of it.
Another program in my notes that I haven't tried is Miller (https://github.com/johnkerl/miller), which says it "is like awk, sed, cut, join, and sort for name-indexed data such as CSV, TSV, and tabular JSON"
Thanks for the good info--I have a lot to learn!
