The best option is to roll your own, and since JavaScript makes it stupid simple to output formatted JSON, that is the preferred method. If you&#39;re sure you want to handle command-line prompting, then go ahead and use this programmatically.</p> <h2 id="see-also">SEE ALSO</h2> <p><a href="../files/package.json.html">package.json(5)</a></p> </div> <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 id=npmlogo> <tr><td style="width:180px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" colspan=18>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr><td rowspan=4 style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)">&nbsp;</td><td style="width:40px;height:10px;background:#fff" colspan=4>&nbsp;</td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" rowspan=4>&nbsp;</td><td style="width:40px;height:10px;background:#fff" colspan=4>&nbsp;</td><td rowspan=4 style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)">&nbsp;</td><td colspan=6 style="width:60px;height:10px;background:#fff">&nbsp;</td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" rowspan=4>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr><td colspan=2 style="width:20px;height:30px;background:#fff" rowspan=3>&nbsp;</td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" rowspan=3>&nbsp;</td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:#fff" rowspan=3>&nbsp;</td><td style="width:20px;height:10px;background:#fff" rowspan=4 colspan=2>&nbsp;</td><td style="width:10px;height:20px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" rowspan=2>&nbsp;</td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:#fff" rowspan=3>&nbsp;</td><td style="width:20px;height:10px;background:#fff" rowspan=3 colspan=2>&nbsp;</td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" rowspan=3>&nbsp;</td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:#fff" rowspan=3>&nbsp;</td><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" rowspan=3>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:#fff" rowspan=2>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr><td style="width:10px;height:10px;background:#fff">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr><td style="width:60px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" colspan=6>&nbsp;</td><td colspan=10 style="width:10px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)">&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr><td colspan=5 style="width:50px;height:10px;background:#fff">&nbsp;</td><td style="width:40px;height:10px;background:rgb(237,127,127)" colspan=4>&nbsp;</td><td style="width:90px;height:10px;background:#fff" colspan=9>&nbsp;</td></tr> </table> <p id="footer">npm-init &mdash; npm@2.15.2</p>
