Cli usage

Create an alias for viscous

Read edn from stdin:

cat data.edn | clojure -X:viscous :file -

Read edn from filename:

clojure -X:viscous :file '"data.edn"'

Read json from stdin:

cat data.json | clojure -X:viscous :json-file -

Read json from filename:

clojure -X:viscous :json-file '"data.edn"'

Status

Viscous is in beta. Behavior is subject to change. Feedback is welcome.

I'm generally interested in finding better ways to represent and explore medium sized heterogenous data. If you like viscous, you may also be interested in treemap-clj.
