Formatter: Graph-info JSON

This section is aimed to show one example of the JSON format output when using any of these commands:

  • conan graph info xxxx --format=json

  • conan create xxxx --format=json

  • conan install xxxx --format=json

  • conan export-pkg xxxx --format=json

The output shows the graph information processed by Conan in each command.

Warning

This json output is experimental and subject to change.

The JSON output generated by conan graph info —require=zlib/1.2.11 -r=conancenter —format=json > graph.json for instance:
