jo creates a JSON string on stdout from words given it as arguments or
read from stdin. Without option -a it generates an object whereby each
word is a key=value (or key@value) pair with key being the JSON object
element and value its value. jo attempts to guess the type of value in
order to create number (using strtod(3)), string, or null values in
JSON.
