    "age": 18,
    "skill": {
        "JavaScript": 100,
        "CSharp": "$csharp-grade",
        "Java": 50
    } 
}

Prepare the merge data

New the file named "data.merge.json" in working space. We want modify the age and the grade of "Java". So the content of file is:

{
    "$prop": {
        "charp-grade"
    }
    "age": 22,
    "skill": {
        "Java": 120,
        "CSharp": "$charp-grade"
    }
}

Replacement

We hava two options: Manual or Interactive.

Manual Execute the command:

$ json-mergex --src data.json --merge data.merge.json --dst data.merged.json

And we cant checkout the result. It is simple!

Interacitve

$ json-mergex
Find merge file: X:/xxx/data.merge.json
Find src file: X:/xxx/data.json
? The dst path is empty, can you confirm to override the source file? » (Y/n) ...no
