Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require boundwize/jsonrecast ``` Example ------- [](#example) Say we want to bump a dependency, add a new one, and remove an entry in `composer.json`. With JsonRecast, a single visitor does all three: [![Demo of JsonRecast bumping a dependency, adding a new one, and removing an entry in composer.json while preserving the original formatting, including non-standard alignment](docs/assets/jsonrecast-demo-adaptive.svg)](docs/assets/jsonrecast-demo-adaptive.svg) ```
